Members of the U.C. Riverside Foundation Board of Trustees make a planned gift to support environmental research.
Fake news can be tricky to spot, but spotting fake drugs just got a little easier. UC Riverside researchers have devised a low-cost way to help distinguish legitimate medications from counterfeit ones.
Researchers have identified a network of connections between the brainstem and spinal cord that enables people to grasp, hold, and manipulate objects. The discovery could guide new stroke therapies.
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.
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.
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.
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 engineering scientists offer blueprint to cut pollution & prolong server life at big data processing centers
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.
UC Riverside, in partnership with city and state agencies, has helped launch the nation's only hydrogen-powered carshare program—offering a clean, affordable transportation alternative to Riverside residents.
Established by a family of UC Riverside alumni, the Ross Family Endowed Term Chair supports innovative teaching and research in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
While artificial intelligence, or AI, is transforming industries, its environmental impact is often overlooked. Shaolei Ren, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Riverside, took to a TED Talk stage last fall in Vienna, Austria, to discuss a hidden consequence of AI’s rapid expansion. In his talk...
Officials at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), the University of Michigan, and several industry partners launch of the Hydrogen Engine Alliance of North America (H2EA-NA) to promote hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel.
Millions of women undergo episiotomies during childbirth every year, yet the mechanics behind these surgical cuts remain largely unstudied. A new research project is poised to change that, addressing this significant gap in women’s healthcare.
UC Riverside scientists have developed a nanopore-based tool that could help diagnose illnesses much faster and with greater precision than current tests allow, by capturing signals from individual molecules.
The University of California system has awarded a $1.4 million grant to UC Riverside chemical and environmental engineering professor Haizhou Liu and a collaborative team from several UC campuses to combat water scarcity by developing strategies to clean and reuse water for agriculture. With California facing climate change and dwindling...
Computer processing demands for artificial intelligence, or AI, are spurring increasing levels of deadly air pollution from power plants and backup diesel generators that continuously supply electricity to the fast-growing number of computer processing centers. This air pollution, a new UCR and Caltech study estimates, is expected to result in...
