Trilobites Had a Leg Up on Breathing A new study has found the first evidence of sophisticated breathing organs in 450-million-year-old sea creatures. Contrary to…
The earliest multicellular organisms may have lacked heads, legs, or arms, but pieces of them remain inside of us today, new research shows. According to…
UC Riverside-led study observed unexpected insulating phases by placing electrons on stacked monolayers of 2D semiconductors. Materials that have excess electrons are typically conductors. However,…
UC Riverside mouse study shows where in the brain sensory input is transformed to movement. When we step on the car brake upon seeing a…
Effects of unhealthy food followed young mice into adulthood. Eating too much fat and sugar as a child can alter your microbiome for life, even…
An astro-statistics course University of California, Riverside, graduate student Remington O. Sexton took three years ago taught him techniques that led him to develop free,…
Mice develop diabetes after exposure through mothers. A new UC Riverside study shows flame retardants found in nearly every American home cause mice to give…
Tiny, seemingly harmless ocean plants survived the darkness of the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs by learning a ghoulish behavior — eating other living…
Study shows the destabilizing effect of the giant gas planet. Venus might not be a sweltering, waterless hellscape today, if Jupiter hadn’t altered its orbit…
UC Riverside-led team’s technique relied on determining the mass of galaxy clusters. A top goal in cosmology is to precisely measure the total amount of…
UC Riverside-led study found self-interacting dark matter theory explains why two galaxies have less dark matter than others. A new theory about the nature of…
Our solar system has one habitable planet — Earth. A new study shows other stars could have as many as seven Earth-like exoplanets in the…
When cells don’t divide into proper copies of themselves, living things fail to grow as they should. For the first time, scientists now understand how…
University of California Riverside scientists have solved a 20-year-old genetics puzzle that could result in ways to protect wheat, barley, and other crops from a…
UC Riverside physicists demonstrate ‘self-interacting dark matter’ model can be tested using astronomical observations of Draco and Fornax. A research team led by physicists at…
A wormlike creature that lived more than 555 million years ago is the earliest bilaterian. A team led by UC Riverside geologists has discovered the…
Study seeks understanding of how Mars may have once hosted oceans and life. Scientists have devised new analytical tools to break down the enigmatic history…
