Lab-grown seafood, a new treatment for Parkinson's disease and a kid-safe power saw are among the genius ideas from UC inventors honored by TIME magazine in 2025.

“These remarkable achievements by five UC-affiliated Nobel Prize winners reflect the very best of the world-changing teaching, research, and public service happening across our University,” said UC President James B. Milliken.

Since 2020, UC alumni and faculty have accounted for nearly 1 in 4 recipients of the prestigious fellowship from the MacArthur Foundation, which provides an $800,000, no-strings-attached grant to support the winner’s interests.

These discoveries span decades and disciplines, but they all have one important thing in common: They’ve all relied on competitive funding from the federal government.

A new study from UC Berkeley documented extensive age and gender distortion across online media — and found that common algorithms are amplifying the bias.

University of California President James B. Milliken released today (Oct. 8) the statement below following the announcement of the Nobel Prize in chemistry, which was awarded to Omar Yaghi, The James and Neeltje Tretter Professor of Chemistry at UC Berkeley.

Yaghi created a field called reticular chemistry, which involves stitching together molecular building blocks to form porous structures — metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) — with myriad applications.

UC Berkeley emeritus professor John Clarke, UC Santa Barbara professor Michel H. Devoret and UC Santa Barbara professor John M. Martinis were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics for their contributions to macroscopic quantum tunneling.

From tips for filling out the application to finding help with college costs, we’ve got resources that can help.

UC has one of the strongest financial aid programs in the nation, with more than half of California undergraduates getting enough financial aid to cover all their tuition.

In California, where farming has grown into a $60B industry, science is happening down on the farm — and research has literally become an essential part of putting food on tables across America.
