The UC San Diego campus is home to the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network of any academic institution in the western world with a growing number of EV chargers expected to exceed 1,200 within the next year.
It is hardly surprising that green spaces in noisy cities offer people respite from stress. However, a comprehensive study by Empa and WSL shows for the first time for Switzerland how much these recreational spaces actually affect physical and mental stress management.
An international team of scientists led by a Rutgers University-New Brunswick astrophysicist has discovered a potentially star-forming cloud that is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected.
Most people wouldn鈥檛 describe cockroach vomit or kissing bugs as compelling content, but for Jules Bernstein, Senior Public Information Officer at UC Riverside, that鈥檚 exactly where the magic happens.
Decades of research leads to self-contained solar panels that convert CO2 into C2 products, valuable precursory chemicals of innumerable products in our everyday lives, from plastic polymers to jet fuel.

Do you know what's in your water? Yuxin Wang from Binghamton University, State University of New York studies contaminants in water called PFAS, more commonly known as "forever chemicals."
Lake Okeechobee faces harmful algal blooms, which thrive in warm, nutrient-rich waters. Daily vertical migration enables them to survive in turbid conditions. A new study using a physical-biogeochemical model reveals that cyanobacteria move toward the surface for sunlight in the morning, boosting growth, and are redistributed by wind and mixing at night. This daily migration, combined with temperature and wind patterns, influences bloom development, offering insights to better monitor and manage harmful algal blooms.
ASU research demonstrates renewable technologies can reduce utility bills up to 40%. They also provide a 22% improvement in electrical system performance during mock grid outages, keeping power running a full day longer than reliance solely on backup generators.
One in ten people will have a seizure in their life, but treatments remain limited, in part due to incomplete understanding of the brain mechanisms involved. Now, research in fruit flies has uncovered a role for two specific brain proteins that are necessary during brain development to prevent seizures.
An international research collaboration led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists that examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid.
These mysterious droplets, known as biomolecular condensates, solidify when they carry a high proportion of the protein alpha-synuclein, the scientists reported in Science Advances. Clumps of alpha-synuclein are commonly found in the brain cells of people with Parkinson鈥檚 disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder.
To mark National Volunteer Week, Cedars-Sinai is spotlighting two of the medical center鈥檚 youngest volunteers, who have a very special bond: They are identical twins.
