Battles in the future will be fought in space — not at the speed of missiles, but at the speed of light, says the University of Arizona's new senior vice president for research and innovation, adding that the UA can help the U.S. prepare.

The UA has "unique strengths" in space science, quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning, photonics and microelectronics, where solutions to the world's current challenges lie, Tomás Díaz de la Rubia told the Arizona Board of Regents at its Nov. 21 meeting.

Collaborating with the U.S. Defense Department and Arizona's military installations for national security purposes is "a key imperative" for the UA, Díaz de la Rubia said. "I believe strongly that state universities in this country have an imperative and a duty to help solve the great challenges we face in this very dangerous world we live in today," he said.

"We live in a dangerous neighborhood, there's no question about it. And to support our freedoms, our liberties that we so dearly care about, we need all of us to contribute to the solutions that are going to keep us safe and secure from our adversaries," said Díaz de la Rubia, who was brought to UA by new President Suresh Garimella and began his role on Nov. 11.

He spoke as ABOR discussed an initiative underlying the board's commitment to "strengthening the long-standing partnership between Arizona's public universities and defense agencies, advancing both state and national security priorities."

"To be able to develop those new technologies, to translate those new technologies, that will help our soldiers, our sailors, our airmen, our Marines, our coasts and our guardians is really truly an imperative for us," Díaz de la Rubia said.

Hi. Since I graduated from college, I've been trying to find cool new interesting things to do. Creating special effects wins as my favorite.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA "Dad, did you ever imagine that your formula would become so famous?" I ask the kind-eyed, 91-year-old person next to me on the patio. My dad, Frank Drake, is quiet for a moment. Perhaps he's thinking back to the November day 60 years ago when he unceremoniously drafted a formula that went on to shape humankind's hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

Avi Loeb: Two things. In 2017, there was an object — the first one that was identified from outside the solar system that arrived close to Earth — and it didn't look like anything we've seen before. It didn't look like a comet, it didn't behave like an asteroid. Loeb: Yes. And I thought maybe it's artificial in origin. And, in fact, I wrote a book about it, Extraterrestrial, that was published six months ago. And then a month ago, there was a report delivered to Congress saying: there are things in the sky above the U.S. whose nature is not identified.
