Skip to search and filter Image Tech Blog: UA Mathematics Research Team Develops New Data Corruption and Retention Technology March 27, 2017 Ph.D. student Mohamad Moussa and Professor Marek Rychlik in the University of Arizona Department of Mathematics, have developed an improved method for mitigating data loss due to faults in the storage medium (disk). Read more Tech Blog: UA College of Science Tech Provides Guarantee in RNA Amplification Feb. 27, 2017 UA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology Michael Worobey, Ph.D., has invented a new, sensitive method for retrieving genetic material (RNA) from heavily damaged samples, which was published in Nature in 2016. The technology is now available for license. Read more Image Tech Blog: Novel Cube-Corner Retro-Reflector Increases Accuracy in Long Distance Measuring Jan. 20, 2017 A retro-reflector is a device or surface that is capable of reflecting light back to its source with minimal scattering. UA’s Russell Chipman, Ph.D., and Karlton Crabtree, Ph.D., created a novel design for a retro-reflector that increases the reflection efficiency while reducing the complexity of the system. Read more Image Tech Blog: Use of Green Light Therapy as an Alternative to Opioids for the Management of Chronic Pain Nov. 22, 2016 The most common method of managing pain is the use of opioids like morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl, all of which are highly addictive. Research has shown that therapeutic exposure to low-intensity green light can reverse chronic pain. Read more Image Tech Blog: UA Professor’s Development of Antibodies Means New Alternative for Detection of Cryptosporidium Oct. 24, 2016 Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite that lives in the intestine and is a major cause of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in humans and livestock worldwide. Michael Riggs, DVM, PhD, DACVP, has developed monoclonal antibodies capable of detecting Cryptosporidium antigens.

Raymond K. Kostuk Ph.D. and Jennifer Barton Ph.D. have dedicated their recent research to an imaging method and device for detection and diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Read more Image Tech Blog: Novel UA Sunscreen Tech Eligible for FDA Fast Track July 26, 2016 Most sunscreens are made with potentially harmful chemicals. Professor Douglas Loy, Ph.D., and graduate assistant Robb Bagge have developed new bio-based particles for sun-blocking purposes. The resulting sunscreens provide an inexpensive, non-toxic alternative that absorbs UV radiation. Read more Image Tech Blog: UA Professor Develops Terahertz Transistor Capable of Solving Problems in Quantum Computing June 27, 2016 Christopher Walker, Ph.D., a professor of astronomy at the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory, has developed a new transistor design that could be used for safer high-resolution medical imaging as well as security and radar imaging, spectroscopy and ultra-fast data links. Read more Image Tech Blog: UA Researchers Repurpose Ketamine in Effort to Alleviate Parkinson’s Patients May 19, 2016 Parkinson’s disease often requires long-term use of levodopa, a therapy that can induce dyskinesia. To both treat and prevent levodopa-induced dyskinesia, two UA researchers have repurposed ketamine to improve Parkinson’s patients’ health and wellbeing.
