The growing popularity of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems across the United States has made it more important to maximize their power input. That’s why UC San Diego environmental engineering professor Jan Kleissl is working on technologies and…
Babies, even those too young to talk, can understand many of the words that adults are saying — and their brains process them in a grown-up way.
Combining the cutting-edge technologies of MRI and MEG, scientists at the University of Califo…
New research by scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences reveals that the immune system has an effective backup plan to protect the body from infection when th…
Using an automated screening technique developed by pharmaceutical companies to find new drugs, a team of researchers from UC San Diego and three other research institutions has discovered a molecule with the most potent effects ever seen on the bio…

Two scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have provided the first details about the mysterious flashes of dazzling bioluminescent light produced by a little-known sea snail.
Dimitri Deheyn and Nerida Wilson of Scripps …
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have described for the first time a key inhibitory role for the IL-1 signaling pathway in the human innate immune system, providing novel insights into human inflammatory bowel…
Bioengineers from the University of California, San Diego developed an explanation for why some types of neurons die sooner than others in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. These insights, published in the journal Nature Biotechnolo…
Astronomers have traced the waxing and waning light of exploding stars more closely than ever before and seen patterns that aren’t yet accounted for in our current understanding of how these eruptions occur.
Using data from a sensitive instrument …
For the first time, scientists have described not only the identities and quantities of fat species in a living mammalian cell — in this case, a mouse macrophage or white blood cell — but they also report how these lipids react and change over…
The fragile regions in mammalian genomes that are thought to play a key role in evolution go through a “birth and death” process, according to new bioinformatics research performed at the University of California, San Diego. The new work, publis…
Electrical engineers generated short, powerful light pulses on a chip — an important step toward the optical interconnects that will likely replace the copper wires that carry information between chips within today’s computers. University of…
