Arizona is a major player in Alzheimer’s disease research thanks in part to statewide collaboration among different institutions. But what also is advancing research is access to some of the freshest brain tissue on the planet.

For millions of Americans, living with clogged arteries can lead to pain and fatigue, particularly in the legs and sometimes leading to amputation. But a new device being tested at a Valley hospital may help clear the way for some patients to live pain free.

Record-breaking temperatures are possibly in store this weekend for the Phoenix area and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health is encouraging people to take precautions. However, the heat has already claimed its first victim of the year.

Although not yet in the United States, Arizona researchers building off work at Harvard's Wyss Institute have developed a low-cost method of detecting the virus.

If you’ve ever caught a lizard and it broke off its tail to get away, you may know it will grow its tail back. Now, researchers in Arizona have identified the specific molecules that makes that possible — and hope to apply the findings to help humans regenerate parts of their body as well.

Arizona State University’s push as a research institution has been attracting some of the nation’s brightest minds. On Wednesday, it announced it will be adding another Nobel Laureate to its faculty.

With the complexity projects at the International Science and Engineering Fair comes the need for expert science judges — and finding them is putting a strain on, Phoenix, the host city.

On a journey to become the world’s first solar powered airplane to traverse the planet, Solar Impulse 2 landed outside Phoenix late last night. Although it still has a long way to travel, the craft and its pilots arrived to a lot of fanfare at its second U.S. stop.
