A study co-authored by UCR business professor Jean Helwege found that issuance of Islamic bonds attracted billions of dollars in new investment to Malaysia without undermining the country's market for conventional corporate bonds.

As AI-generated fake videos become more problematic, UC Riverside computer scientists developed a tool that moves beyond simply identifying whether a video is fake. It also determines which AI system created it.

A UC Riverside discovery makes it possible to destroy perchlorate pollution after it has been captured on ion-exchange resin beads, which could reduce the hazardous waste generated during drinking water treatment and allow for the beads to be reused.

A study by UCR public policy scholars suggests locally tailored infant health strategies to increase breastfeeding rates may be more effective than a one-size-fits-all national effort.

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 this week that states may continue counting mail ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive afterward, the decision resolved a dispute over the meaning of federal election law. It also renewed debate over a different question: How can election officials maintain...

Manufacturers have traditionally relied on sales figures to understand where they stand with consumers, but by the time those numbers arrive, the consumers’ buying decisions have already been made. A study co-authored by UC Riverside business professor Hai Che offers a way to capture what consumers are thinking while they...

Q&A: UCR Assistant Professor Stan Oklobdzija explains the broader policy issues behind the city of Riverside's rejection of a homeless housing project.

Is the internet losing its soul? A collaborative study by UC Riverside computer and social scientists suggests so. As artificial intelligence increasingly answers our online questions with quick summaries and polished explanations, we may be gaining efficiency while losing something distinctly human in the process. The study found that large...

UC Riverside is launching a fully online Master of Business Administration program this fall, opening the door for students across California, the nation, and around the world to earn a University of California MBA degree remotely while continuing their careers and personal responsibilities. The program marks a major expansion of...

Computer scientists at UC Riverside have identified troubling flaws in a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents designed to take over routine computer chores while users are away — sorting emails, organizing files, analyzing data, and handling other everyday digital tasks that might otherwise consume hours. The researchers found...

UCR education professor Katherine Meltzoff develops a set of telehealth tools that help clinicians diagnose autism remotely, greatly expanding access to families. Cameron Alexander, Amy Hoffman & Jan Blacher

New research led by a UC Riverside professor has developed an AI tool that compensates for the shifting genre perceptions that impact how creative works are understood, evaluated, and even discovered.

UC Riverside will host a Chancellor’s Distinguished Lecture on April 15 that brings together Chancellor S. Jack Hu and Esri founder Jack Dangermond, a global leader in GIS system innovations. The conversation will celebrate and strengthen a partnership between the two organizations that has helped shape how we see our...

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing is outpacing the ability of many community water systems to deliver large bursts on the hottest days of the year, and building the necessary infrastructure is expected to cost billions of dollars.

UC Riverside computer scientists identify major security weaknesses in the Wi-Fi networks we rely on at work, at home, in airports, and in coffee shops, among other locations. Even the most advanced “enterprise-grade” encryption systems used by universities and corporations were found to be vulnerable.

California should regulate broadband internet providers like public utilities — imposing rate controls, universal access requirements, and reliability standards to ensure every resident has affordable, high-speed internet access, according to a new UC Riverside public policy report. The recommendation comes from a position paper by Edward Helderop, associate director of...

UCR-led study finds that tiny, invisible gases long thought to be irrelevant in cloud formation appear to play a major role in determining whether clouds form—and possibly whether it rains. This realization runs counter to more than a century of assumptions about the physics behind cloud droplet formation.

A study by UC Riverside and USC education scholars found that Black and Latino teens are significantly more adept than their white peers at detecting online disinformation—particularly content related to race and ethnicity. These youth are quicker to identify false claims and racist propaganda and also more likely to verify...

UCR researchers develop a method called Test-Time Matching, an approach that significantly improves how AI systems interpret relationships between text and images, especially when presented with unfamiliar combinations.

The UCR-developed Tango mandarin has established itself as a symbol of innovation and sustainability in the global citrus market, generating more than $70 million in cumulative economic value for the university.
