University of Arizona researchers are blending plant biology, medicine and engineering to create a leaf-based test platform that simulates a human lung.
Goldwater Scholarship winner Adriana Mitchell of the UA will assist on the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Hayabusa2 project, an asteroid sample return mission that is similar to the UA-led OSIRIS-REx mission by NASA.
Based at the Sierra Vista campus, the UA program becomes one of 20 to be recognized by the National Security Agency for teaching specialized cyber ops technologies and techniques.
