Birth control for mosquito populations

Researchers at the University of Arizona have discovered a protein that prevents mosquitoes from hatching, opening the possibility of developing new drugs that could act as birth control for mosquito populations. Depending on where you live, the buzz of a nearby mosquito can be a nuisance, or it can be deadly. Worldwide, more than 500

CubeSats with lasers can provide steady reference light for telescopes investigating distant planets

Researchers design CubeSats with lasers to provide steady reference light for telescopes investigating distant planets. There are more than 3,900 confirmed planets beyond our solar system. Most of them have been detected because of their “transits” — instances when a planet crosses its star, momentarily blocking its light. These dips in starlight can tell astronomers

Controlling neurons with light could ultimately mean turning off pain receptors or reducing the effects of severe neurological disorders

Research by UA professor reveals a more sophisticated method for delivering light to control neurons in the brain — which could ultimately mean turning off pain receptors or reducing the effects of severe neurological disorders. Biomedical engineering professor Philipp Gutruf is first author on the paper Fully implantable, optoelectronic systems for battery-free, multimodal operation in neuroscience research,

Is killing bacteria by silencing genes an alternative to antibiotics?

A new approach to killing C. difficile that silences key bacterial genes while sparing other bacteria may provide a new way to treat the most common hospital-acquired bacterial infection in the United States, according to researchers. While conventional antibiotics treat bacterial infections, they can also cause a condition in the colon called C. difficile infection,

Many forensic methods have never been scientifically validated – a major issue

MANY FORENSIC METHODS HAVE NEVER BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED, SCIENTISTS NOTE IN EDITORIAL Many of the “forensic science” methods commonly used in criminal cases and portrayed in popular police TV dramas have never been scientifically validated and may lead to unjust verdicts, according to an editorial in this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The authors

Heads up displays for planes and cars using holography

New heads-up display technology will make it easier for drivers and pilots to see information while viewing the outside world Heads-up displays are transparent devices used in airplanes and cars to provide information such as critical flight data or driving directions on the windshield. An innovative holography-based approach could soon make these heads-up displays much

Self-driving cars and related technology may be even closer to revolutionizing traffic control than previously thought

The presence of just a few autonomous vehicles can eliminate the stop-and-go driving of the human drivers in traffic, along with the accident risk and fuel inefficiency it causes, according to new research. The finding indicates that self-driving cars and related technology may be even closer to revolutionizing traffic control than previously thought. “Our experiments

Unexpected strategy can delay, and even reverse, the evolution of resistance by pests to genetically engineered crops

UA researchers have discovered an unexpected strategy that can delay, and even reverse, the evolution of resistance by pests to genetically engineered crops. Insect pests that are rapidly adapting to genetically engineered crops threaten agriculture worldwide. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals the success of a surprising

New pain treatment gets the green light

A study by UA researchers revealed that rats with neuropathic pain that were bathed in green LED showed more tolerance for thermal and tactile stimulus. A clinical trial involving people suffering from fibromyalgia is underway. It wasn’t the first time that Dr. Mohab Ibrahim‘s brother, Wael, had called complaining of a headache. Ibrahim suggested that he

Improved crop performance with new simple biotechnology

Farmers can use fewer resources to grow food With the world’s population exploding to well over 7 billion, feeding the human race is getting even more challenging. Increasing the yield from crops such as wheat, maize, rice and barley, is paramount to growing enough food. In addition, crop production is now affected by stressors such
