UCR experts discuss the connection to the bird flu outbreak and what to expect
Andrew Gray, an associate professor of watershed hydrology at UCR, weighs in on the threats to life and infrastructure posed by fast-moving debris flows, and how residents can best respond.
UCR scientists have developed new light-sensitive chemicals that can radically improve the treatment of aggressive cancers with minimal side effects.
To honor his parents' legacy and help other CNAS students who experience a similar life-altering tragedy during the course of their studies, UCR alum Joshua Tejada has established an endowment through the Mi Doctora Foundation.
Many may be familiar with the new dean of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, or CNAS. Peter Atkinson, a professor of genetics in the Department of Entomology, has been with UC Riverside for 28 years. Less familiar may be his vision, which emphasizes social mobility, collaboration with other...
Machine learning tool developed by UCR researchers will help answer fundamental questions about the universe
Many phone apps offer general but nonspecific information about airborne particles. To help increase public safety amidst the LA fires, UC Riverside scientists are making new, real-time, advanced air pollutant measurements available to the public.
UC Riverside climate scientist Francesca Hopkins explains how carbon emissions from human activities turn into conflagrations, and she has some ideas about making urban landscapes more resilient.
UC Riverside distinguished professor Katayoon “Katie” Dehesh has defied governments, gender expectations, and scientific beliefs.
Biofilm, a slimy bacterial layer that clings to surfaces, makes infections harder to treat when they form protective shields for bacteria on medical devices. Scientists have discovered a chemical that prevents biofilm from forming.
Collaborative research paves the way for future treatments to alleviate autism and epilepsy symptoms
Spur and gap features seen in Milky Way’s GD-1 stellar stream could be caused by self-interacting dark matter subhalo
Scientists have discovered a way to remove toxic compounds from potatoes and tomatoes, making them safer to eat and easier to store. The breakthrough could cut food waste and enhance crop farming in extreme environments, like outer space.
NIH grant will allow UC Riverside-led team to focus on long non-coding RNAs in Plasmodium falciparum
California’s native wildflowers are being smothered by layers of dead, invasive grasses. A UCR study shows simply raking these layers can boost biodiversity and reduce fire danger.
Scientists have a new method for studying faults that could improve earthquake forecasts, shedding light on where quakes start, how they spread, and where the biggest impacts might be.
UCR is transforming undergraduate chemistry, allowing students multiple opportunities to demonstrate knowledge while reducing the high stakes of traditional exams. Educators believe the approach will improve outcomes for underserved students.
A new study reveals that prolonged sitting significantly harms even young, active adults, and current federal exercise guidelines are insufficient to offset the negative effects.
After approximately three decades since their last assemblage, UC Riverside’s Asian Pacific Islander (API) Alumni Network has been re-established. 11 API-identifying, degreed Highlanders have made a minimum yearlong commitment to guide and support current API undergrad and grad students.
