Evidence suggests that carbon nanotubes, tiny tubes consisting of pure carbon, could be forged in the envelopes of dust and gas surrounding dying stars. The findings propose a simple, yet elegant mechanism for the formation and survival of complex carbon molecules in space.

Astronomers have discovered a new type of stellar system that contains only young, blue stars. The structures are thought to be created when galaxies collide with hot gas in something of a galactic belly flop.

Weather watchers are invited to submit their monsoon predictions online in the Southwest Monsoon Fantasy Forecasts game. Created by UArizona climate researchers, the game draws inspiration from fantasy sports.

As heat waves blaze across the U.S., UArizona researcher Ladd Keith says city planners should take the lead in managing and mitigating extreme heat. Keith recently co-authored a report, published by the American Planning Association, that gives planners a set of principles and guidelines to address extreme heat in their communities.

Extreme supergiant stars known as hypergiants are very rare, with only a few known to exist in the Milky Way. Astronomers have created a detailed, three-dimensional image of one dying hypergiant, providing new insights into what happens at the end of these rare stars' lives.

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.
