New research from UC Riverside identifies a protein that controls plant growth — good news for an era in which crops can get crushed by climate change.
UC Riverside research is supported by a four-year grant worth more than $1.2 million
UC Riverside scientists have developed a new method for detecting oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres that may accelerate the search for life.
UC Riverside research used internet data mining to monitor health effects reported by electronic cigarette users over time
Nitrogen pollution, largely from automobile exhaust, can reduce drinking water quality and make air difficult to breathe. Thanks to a $1.1 million grant, UC Riverside scientists will soon understand how much nitrogen dry ecosystems in Southern California can absorb before they produce negative effects. “Levels of nitrogen pollution in Riverside’s...
UC Riverside physics students design a table-top experiment for the classroom
Calculations by UC Riverside’s Allen Mills predict metastable positronium bubbles in liquid helium
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...
A new understanding of a fault that caused a deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake can help scientists better predict where and when the next big one will hit. For decades, scientists have debated the structure of the Main Himalayan Thrust — the fault responsible for a 2015 earthquake that killed nearly...
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
UC Riverside-led research shows our galaxy is undergoing a massive merger with its largest satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud
