XMM-2599 lived fast and died young, says UC Riverside-led international team
New research from UC Riverside shows, contrary to previous scientific belief, a hormone required for sexual maturity in insects cannot travel across the blood-brain barrier unless aided by a transporter protein. The finding may soon allow scientists to prevent disease-spreading mosquitoes from maturing, or to boost reproduction in beneficial bumblebees.
UC Riverside-led research has applications in ultrafast and spin-based nanoscale devices
NIH grant of $2.2 million could help researchers target two oncogenes, potentially leading to therapies for melanoma, lung cancer, and other tumors
UC Riverside research is supported by a four-year grant worth more than $1.2 million
UC Riverside research used internet data mining to monitor health effects reported by electronic cigarette users over time
UC Riverside scientists have developed a new method for detecting oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres that may accelerate the search for life.
Calculations by UC Riverside’s Allen Mills predict metastable positronium bubbles in liquid helium
UC Riverside physics students design a table-top experiment for the classroom
Researchers use nontoxic silicon nanocrystals to convert low-energy photons into high-energy ones, bringing scientists closer to developing photodynamic treatments for cancer
New big data algorithms improve earthquake detection; monitor livestock health and agricultural pests
The world’s most influential scientific researchers in 2019 include 10 current UCR scholars. In its annual list, Clarivate Analytics names the most highly cited researchers — those whose work was most often referenced by other scientific research papers for the preceding decade in 21 fields across the sciences and social...
UC Riverside-led study could lead to the development of drugs that target liver and other cancers
Contrary to previous thought, a gigantic planet in wild orbit does not preclude the presence of an Earth-like planet in the same solar system – or life on that planet. What’s more, the view from that Earth-like planet as its giant neighbor moves past would be unlike anything it is...
UC Riverside-led team overcomes a stumbling block in this relatively new technology
A UC Riverside-led team has created a chemical to help plants hold onto water, which could stem the tide of massive annual crop losses from drought and help farmers grow food despite a changing climate. “Drought is the No. 1 cause, closely tied with flooding, of annual crop failures worldwide,”...
Work by international research team could have wide-ranging impact on information technology applications
UC Riverside-led research on fruit fly could lead to better understanding of how taste information is coded in the brain
If you’re eating fruits, nuts, grains, or vegetables in a few years, you’ll likely owe a debt of gratitude to UC Riverside. The university has created a program to transition today’s undergraduates into professional scientists solving tomorrow’s farming challenges. The program, called Plants-3D, will train students to discover, design, and...
UC Riverside astronomers find large-scale winds associated with active black holes in small galaxies suppress star formation
