Using robotic fins, researchers have learned how stingrays are able to swim with impressive control. These insights could help underwater vehicles avoid disastrous ground collisions.

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.

A little-known region deep in the brain could be crucial for preserving physical strength as we age, and could even help prevent frailty before it begins.

UCR chemical engineering researchers have completed construction of a pilot biomass processing facility that transforms forestry and agricultural waste into pulp that can be made into textiles and building construction products.

Alumnus William Carter has pledged two gifts totaling an estimated $3.65 million to UCR.

Landmark UC Riverside vehicle emissions study allows California to move forward with less costly and less polluting gasoline blend.

UCR leads $8 million effort for dynamic and secure computer networks to benefit military needs and civilian applications.

Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, found that health impacts from pollution associated with California’s computer processing data centers tripled from 2019 to 2023 — and could rise by another 72% by 2028 unless mitigation policies are enacted.

UCR engineering scientists offer blueprint to cut pollution & prolong server life at big data processing centers

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

When Alisa Perales was a year old she began learning her ABC’s and 123’s. By the time she was 4, she could name the capitals of the world and the bones in a human body. Now at 11 years old, she’s solving advanced mathematical proofs as a computer science major...

UCR experiments offer a pathway for solar desalination solutions

Amidst the decline of reefs worldwide, UCR scientists have launched a $1.1 million project to uncover how coral regains life-giving algae after suffering from heat stress.

Lock in this November with UC Riverside’s Homecoming 2025. The most anticipated celebration is an on-campus concert featuring 2000s hip-hop icon Ludacris. (Yup, THAT Ludacris!) Select campus groups will also host a barbecue, brunch, cookout, family weekend, and more. Here are all the ways you can join in the fun...

A team of UC Riverside engineers has discovered why a key solid-state battery material stays remarkably cool during operation — a breakthrough that could help make the next generation of lithium batteries safer and more powerful. The study, published in PRX Energy, focused on a ceramic material known as LLZTO...

A new diagnostic metric combines charge data and environmental factors like traffic patterns, elevation changes, and ambient temperature to generate real-time predictions about whether an EV battery can complete a specific task.

UCR computer scientists are developing tools to expose hidden cybersecurity vulnerabilities, protect private data, and strengthen the digital defenses that safeguard everything from personal communications to national infrastructure.

As generative AI models move from massive cloud servers to phones and cars, they’re stripped down to save power. But what gets trimmed can include the technology that stops them from spewing hate speech or offering roadmaps for criminal activity. To counter this threat, researchers at the University of California...

UC Riverside Innovation addresses need to strip AI models of private and copyrighted content.

UC Riverside researchers have unveiled a powerful new imaging technique that exposes how cutting-edge materials used in solar panels and light sensors convert light into electricity—offering a path to better, faster, and more efficient devices.
