UC Riverside has received $8 million in federal grants to help the Inland Empire become more proficient in artificial intelligence and better align engineering education with the needs of regional industries. The two grants, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education through its Strengthening Institutions Program, will support separate projects...

Two UC Riverside computer scientists are joining federally funded projects that use artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery. Their work will focus on making quantum computing faster and more reliable and building smarter networks for sharing scientific data and research resources.

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.

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...

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...

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.
