Instrument developed at UC Riverside will help answer fundamental questions in physics and cosmology
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.
It all started when computer science majors Siena Ha and Nate Brennan arrived late to UC Riverside’s Highlander Orientation in the summer of 2018. They quietly walked into Bourns Hall minutes apart, taking seats in the back to minimize the disruption and finding themselves sitting beside each other. “It was...
In a question and answer format, UC Riverside public policy professor Richard Carpiano and medical school professor Dr. Elizabeth Jacobs to discuss the policy response and medical issues concerning the bird flu threat.
UCR scientists have developed new light-sensitive chemicals that can radically improve the treatment of aggressive cancers with minimal side effects.
Machine learning tool developed by UCR researchers will help answer fundamental questions about the universe
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.
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.
One is harnessing the power of yeast. Another is profiling maliciousness. A third is using electromagnetic levitation to create new metal alloys. Sci-fi characters? No. Award-winning doctoral students? Yes! They’re three doctoral candidates from UC Riverside’s Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering, and they’ve each been awarded a $15,000...
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 engineering associate professor Fudong Liu will oversee a multidisciplinary team spanning academia and industry that has been awarded a $6 million federal grant to develop advanced catalytic technology to reduce Earth-warming methane pollution in the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG). With additional financial support from the participating...
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
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.
After a busy year of accomplishments, UC Riverside’s chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, or NSBE, was voted 2024’s Outstanding Student Organization of the Year and Social Justice Activists of the Year. This marks the second time UCR’s Student Life office has recognized NSBE in four years. NSBE...
NIH grant will allow UC Riverside-led team to focus on long non-coding RNAs in Plasmodium falciparum
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.
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.
