Two doctoral students travel to Italy to assess the structural condition of one of Florence's landmarks, the Baptistery of St. John.

Studies of geysers in Chile and Yellowstone National Park reveal why geysers erupt periodically: the loops and bends in their plumbing.

Most of the laws of nature treat particles and antiparticles equally, but stars and planets are made of particles, or matter, and not antiparticles, or antimatter. That asymmetry puzzled scientists for many years.

Shellfish industry — especially mollusks — is at long-term risk in 15 states.

Cells are like night club bouncers, says UC San Diego's Amro Hamdoun: With every substance that a cell encounters, it has to decide which to eliminate and which to let in.

Op-ed co-authored by a Berkeley law professor addresses the proliferation of vagrancy laws in California — and which cities lead the pack.

Research summit aims to inspire UC-wide collaborations around fisheries and aquaculture

Images of crystal meth addicts show clearly how the drug drastically alters a person's appearance. Now, Daniele Piomelli and others at UC Irvine have discovered how the drug affects the body's cells to speed up aging.

Most people trying to lose weight would expect to break a sweat, but a UC Irvine researcher has a different idea. In fact, he recommends chilling out... literally.

Engineers and other researchers at UC Merced, UC Santa Cruz and UCLA are studying slime and other properties of the humble banana slug (which happens to be the Santa Cruz mascot).

Gregory Weiss, UC Irvine chemistry professor, talks about 'unboiling' egg white proteins and returning them to their original state. The ability to quickly restore molecular proteins could slash biotechnology costs and dramatically reduce the costs for cancer treatments.
