New research suggests that the volume of salty water 2 to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) beneath the Earth's surface is double previous estimates. The water could store waste fluids, sequester carbon and direct our search for extraterrestrial life.

A new UArizona-led study uses big data to assess why the diversity of species varies across the globe. What researchers learned changes our understanding of future diversity in a warming world. 

UArizona College of Medicine – Phoenix researchers designed novel molecular diagnostics technology to monitor the health of four crew members during the all-civilian spaceflight.

Since 2001, between 40,000 and 73,400 square miles of Amazon rainforest have been impacted by fires, affecting 95% of all Amazonian species and as many as 85% of species that are listed as threatened in the region.

The pandemic has forced employers to think about how office spaces can reduce employee stress and enhance well-being, say two UArizona researchers who study how physical spaces affect health.

Zoom fatigue – or feeling drained after a day of virtual meetings – may be worse for those who keep their cameras on during meetings, new research finds. Women and newer employees may be especially affected.

Mask compliance was high in the first days of the fall semester, and testing and vaccinations remain available on campus. The university also has mental health resources for those impacted by the recent events in Afghanistan.

Researchers have identified what may be the key molecular mechanism responsible for COVID-19 mortality – an enzyme related to neurotoxins found in rattlesnake venom.

Nearly half of all students enrolled on main campus have voluntarily uploaded proof of COVID-19 vaccination. The actual number of vaccinated students is likely much higher.

A first-of-its-kind nanotherapeutic delivery system demonstrated remarkable efficacy against both early-stage and difficult-to-treat late-stage metastatic tumors.
