A Columbia University study has found that teens who use cannabis recreationally are two to four times as likely to develop psychiatric disorders, such as depression and suicidality, than teens who don’t use cannabis at all.
A University of Arizona Health Sciences study uncovered new ways in which Hsp90-inhibitor drugs in the spinal cord are showing promise as potential pain therapeutics.
Quakes could be the source of the mysteriously smooth terrain on the moons circling Jupiter and Saturn, according to a new study led by a University of Arizona graduate student.
Using data from two NOAA satellites, University of Arizona researchers developed an algorithm for measuring wind via water vapor.
Wastewater-based epidemiology's potential was brought to bear during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, it could help public health officials get ahead of the drug-resistant fungus Candida auris.
A University of Arizona undergraduate looked at cities as living things to investigate how human energy use changes with rising temperatures. Her research could help save lives from heat waves.
Columbia synthetic biologists first to engineer bacterial swarm patterns to visibly record environment, use deep learning to decode patterns; applications could range from monitoring environmental pollution to building living materials
University of Arizona astronomers have joined an international effort to study the aftermath of the brightest flash of gamma rays ever observed. Observations involving various UArizona telescopes and instruments provide astronomers with a "cosmic lab" to study how massive stars die.
Since dogs have been proven able to detect certain diseases in humans, a team from Texas A&M is researching dogs' ability to sniff out breathing problems in cows.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists observed detailed features, including roiling clouds of dust, in the atmosphere of a brown dwarf planet 40 light-years away.

Scientists have sequenced Beethoven’s genome from locks of his hair, revealing clues to the composer’s health and family history.
University of Arizona physicists led an international team in achieving optical switching of a light signal at attosecond speeds to reach previously unattainable data transfer speeds. An attosecond is one quintillionth of a second.
Cambridge University scientists have come up with a system of measuring animal welfare that enables reliable comparison across different types of pig farming.
A study has found that much higher doses of antibiotics are needed to eliminate a bacterial infection of the airways when other microbes are present. It helps explain why respiratory infections often persist in people with lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis despite treatment.
A new study shows how knowledge of climate change threats could be better connected with conservation efforts to help protect seabirds and other at-risk species.
Researchers have made tiny ‘skyscrapers’ for communities of bacteria, helping them to generate electricity from just sunlight and water.
Researchers have mapped the complete trajectory of placental development, helping shed new light on why pregnancy disorders happen.
Illusion involving a hidden thumb confounds capuchin and squirrel monkeys for the same reason as humans – it misdirects the expected outcomes of actions they can carry out.
