The New Frontiers of Sound Science and Technology Center will focus on topological acoustics, an emerging field in which researchers exploit the properties of sound in ways that could vastly improve computing, telecommunications and sensing.

The new fellowship program will support research on how to reach more students from diverse communities with science, technology, engineering and math education.

Members of NASA's UArizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission completed one last dress rehersal before the spacecraft delivers a sample from asteroid Bennu to the Utah desert on Sept. 24.

University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins created a commission to identify solutions to the challenges facing Arizona agriculture in a rapidly changing climate. The recommendations are outlined in a new report.

When the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft delivers a sample from asteroid Bennu to Earth on Sept. 24, it will launch decades of scientific investigation. Mission principal investigator Dante Lauretta is most excited to shed light on the origins of life on Earth.

At 16, Tadeusz Borowski is one of the youngest first-year students to start at UArizona this fall, after graduating from high school two years early. His studies in medicine, he hopes, will shed light on how gifted minds develop.

Robert C. Robbins speaks with Professor Sharon Megdal, Director of the Water Resources Research Center at the University of Arizona, about the Colorado River Basin's water crisis and the future of our state. Dr. Megdal explains that our water crisis will not be solved by any one action. It will take a multi-faceted approach beginning with all of us being informed – knowing where our water comes from, knowing who makes water policies and what those policies are, and what we can do in our daily lives to conserve water.

The University of Arizona has welcomed its largest and most diverse class in university history, which also includes a record number of students from Arizona. About 9,300 first-year students, representing all 50 U.S. states and 45 countries, started classes this week.

The University of Arizona earned recognition for its quality of life, intramural sports programs, health services, student government participation and more.
