Vaping during pregnancy is becoming more common, but its impact on early human development is not well understood. A new study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, now reports that the flavor chemical menthol used in electronic cigarettes could pose risks to a developing baby. The study, published...
With technology developed at UC Riverside, scientists can, for the first time, make high resolution images of the human spinal cord. The advancement could help bring real relief to millions suffering chronic back pain.
Scientists are developing artificial photosynthesis to help make food production more energy-efficient here on Earth, and one day possibly on Mars
Synthetic strigolactones could also improve nutrient uptake in crops
External application could reduce agricultural reliance on fungicides
While quarantined bakers discover sourdough starters, bioengineers tweak yeast to produce compounds that could fight cancer
The UC Riverside-based startup will use the investment to develop next-generation prototypes
UCR’s Department of Bioengineering led the campus’ first Computational Neuroimaging and Neuroengineering Symposium (CNNS) in November. The symposium brought together more than 80 cognitive neuroscientists, computational psychologists, bioengineers and neuroengineers, electrical and computer engineers, and computer scientists to discuss new advances and results in the fast-growing field. Students, postdocs, and...
The ability to move independently permits us to examine the world around us. Children born with motor impairments face unique challenges to learn about their environment and develop cognitively and socially through locomotion. Innovative research in pediatric rehabilitative technologies allow children with these disabilities to interact with and explore their...
The discovery could make production of some electronic components cheaper, easier, and faster
Scientists use molecular dipoles to accelerate electron transfer in one direction and completely suppress it in the other. This “holy grail” of energy science could hasten the design of new and superb energy and electronic materials
RIVERSIDE, Calif. ( www.ucr.edu) — A University of California, Riverside scholar has been awarded a Fulbright grant to conduct research at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil for 2018-19. Valentine Vullev, a professor of bioengineering whose research areas include molecular photonics and biophotonics, will continue his research into bioinspired...
