A new study identified a gene variation that could inform clinicians which patients are more susceptible to developing stomach cancer.

The Alliance of Hispanic Serving Research Universities aims to achieve two key goals by 2030: double Hispanic doctoral student enrollment and increase the number of Hispanic faculty members by 20%.

Willem de Kooning's "Woman-Ochre," stolen from the University of Arizona Museum of Art in 1985 and unexpectedly returned more than three decades later, underwent a complex restoration at the world-renowned Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The painting will be on display at the Getty through Aug. 28 and then will return home to UArizona.

UArizona scientists took part in an international planetary defense exercise that used asteroid Apophis – a large, potentially hazardous asteroid – to test the planetary defense response chain.

A lunar rock collected during the 1971 Apollo 15 mission is on display until mid-August at the Alfie Norville Gem & Mineral Museum. It is the largest moon rock NASA loans to museums.

A new report indicates that startups and business generated through Tech Launch Arizona supported over 2,500 jobs and $561 million in labor income between fiscal years 2017 and 2021.

Construction has begun on a tall, hangar-like "high bay" facility, where researchers can build and test hardware for experiments and missions designed to fly at extremely high altitudes sometimes referred to as the "edge of space."

Agreeing to send a spacecraft to an asteroid to bring back a sample was no easy decision, Dante Lauretta, the leader of NASA's UArizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission, told graduates. They, too, will face daunting opportunities in their careers, he said – and they should say yes.

Snapping an image of a black hole is just the beginning, says researcher Chi-Kwan "CK" Chan. To really understand the image, it must be compared with black hole simulations. UArizona worked with partners to create the world's largest simulation library.

UArizona astrophysicists Feryal Özel and Dimitrios Psaltis identified Sagittarius A* as an ideal target black hole more than 20 years ago. They call it a "Goldilocks black hole," with an environment "just right" for capturing an image.
