Researchers at UC Riverside discovered how supergenes control the origin and duplication of petite ant queens.
QuVet is funded by a $7.5M grant from the Department of Defense
A new UCR laboratory will be formed by merging the existing Nanofabrication Facility with the Central Facility for Advanced Microscopy and Microanalysis, or CFAMM, and bringing in about $3 million for new equipment.
UC Riverside scientists confirm, for the first time, that a potentially fatal dog parasite is present in a portion of the Colorado River that runs through California.
UCR distinguished professor of computer science Eamonn Keogh is awarded the prestigious Science Foundation Ireland St. Patrick’s Day Science Medal by Ireland’s head of state.
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.
For those curious about insects – their behavior, love lives, the threat or lack thereof they pose to humans – there is a new podcast from UC Riverside: Can I Bug You?
UCR Professor Markus Petters and two grad students are spending more than a month with an international research team that’s making bumpy flights from northern Sweden to the Arctic Ocean to collect data needed to better understand climate change.
Scientists have discovered the gene that enables marine algae to make a unique type of chlorophyll. They successfully implanted this gene in a land plant, paving the way for better crop yields on less land.
UC Riverside-led study findings can help tackle other pathogenic coronaviruses
New scent-based therapy can delay disease; has implications also for agricultural production
UCR scientists unveil a path toward carbon-neutral air travel that lies in fostering development of e-kerosene, a type of sustainable aviation fuel made by combining captured carbon dioxide with hydrogen.
UC Riverside study urges e-cigarette users to be cautious about vaping in the era of COVID-19
Q&A forum: UC Riverside computer science and public policy experts discuss the proliferation of malicious deepfake content in public discourse.
UCR computer scientists identify method identified to double computer processing speed using existing hardware
Identification of RNA-binding proteins using R-DeeP reveals new drug targets
Scientists have long thought of the fluid-filled sac around our lungs merely as a cushion from external damage. UC Riverside scientists have learned it also houses potent virus-eating cells that rush into the lungs during flu infections.
UC Riverside scientists have discovered a tiny worm species that infects and kills insects. These worms, called nematodes, could control crop pests without pesticides in warm, humid places where other beneficial nematodes are currently unable to thrive.
When it comes to making fuel from plants, the first step has always been the hardest — breaking down the plant matter. A new study finds that introducing a simple, renewable chemical to the pretreatment step can finally make next-generation biofuel production both cost-effective and carbon neutral.
Great whites, the largest predatory sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.
