Stressed DNA sets off a cascade of failures in the body linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration, and chronic inflammation. A new, UCR-designed tool interrupts this process, preserving DNA before the damage causes disease.

UC Riverside study highlights need for protective measures for agricultural workers

UCR computer scientists team up with Google scientists to develop an artificial intelligence model that detects fake videos — even when manipulations go far beyond face swaps and altered speech.

UC Riverside’s School of Business has been accepted into the Graduate Management Admission Council, or GMAC, a prestigious global association of leading graduate business schools.

Solid-state batteries are poised to transform everything from electric cars to consumer electronics, and represent a transformational leap in energy storage.

As China slashed sulfur dioxide emissions by roughly 75 percent, a new study finds Earth began warming much, much faster.

UCR medical students gain valuable experience attending to patients and medical issues

Researchers have uncovered how to manipulate electrical flow through crystalline silicon, a discovery that could lead to smaller, faster, and more efficient devices by harnessing quantum electron behavior.

The "Carry the Class" teaching method helps college students master concepts while fostering a sense of ownership through more meaningful social interactions among students and faculty, which creates a sense of community and shared purpose.

For a decade, scientists have believed that plants sensed temperature mainly through specialized proteins, and mainly at night when the air is cool. New research suggests that during the day, another signal takes over. Sugar, produced in sunlight, helps plants detect heat and decide when to grow.

A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the deadliest form of human malaria, that could make novel, highly targeted anti-malarial therapies possible. Led by Karine Le Roch, a professor of molecular, cell and systems biology, the...

UC Riverside has once again been named a great value in the Princeton Review’s latest college rankings, where it was ranked No. 33 overall on the list’s Top 50 Best Value Colleges among public schools. It was also ranked highly for financial aid and No. 5 in the country among...

When you cross the second-floor catwalk to see “ Shadow Archive: Meggan Gould,” on view at the California Museum of Photography, or CMP, through July 27, you will discover not one, but two exhibitions that sprung from a third. The images on the left outer wall before you enter the...

Wild-growing tomatoes are on the black-rock islands of the Galápagos are doing something peculiar. They’re shedding millions of years of evolution, reverting to a primitive genetic state that resurrects ancient chemical defenses.

For more than a century, a patch of cold water south of Greenland has resisted the Atlantic Ocean’s overall warming, fueling debate amongst scientists. A new study identifies the cause as the long-term weakening of a major ocean circulation system.

UC Riverside study on how Toxoplasma gondii manipulates brain cells lays groundwork for future clinical research and therapies

A new UC Riverside-led study reveals how common small particles produced by nature as well as human activities can transform upon entering plant cells and weaken plants’ ability to turn sunlight into food.

UC Riverside will celebrate a major step forward in its efforts to drive economic growth in the Inland Empire as it begins construction of an innovation park that will bring together research, entrepreneurship, and education at one hub near campus. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held Monday, June 23 for...

UC Riverside study could lead to new treatments addressing multiple sclerosis

The promise of a new type of computer chip that could reshape the future of artificial intelligence and be more environmentally friendly is explored in a technology review paper published by UC Riverside engineers in the journal Device.
