Surprising anatomical features found in the newly discovered species

The technology, which is at a proof-of-concept stage, is a first step toward a biosensor chip that can be implanted in the body to detect a specific DNA mutation—in real time—and transmit the information wirelessly to a mobile device

UC San Diego study suggests collective framing more effective than individual

Scripps researchers suggest risk assessment to protect human health

Study suggests same neural mechanism that interrupts body movement also interrupts cognition

The material is an amorphous steel alloy, a promising subclass of steel alloys made of arrangements of atoms that deviate from steel's classical crystal-like structure

Global effort produces first cross-species genomic analysis of Leptospira, a bacterium that can cause disease–and death–in targeted mammals, including humans

Genetic analysis by Scripps team correctly pinpoints species on the tree of life

Tamoxifen helps white blood cells clear multidrug-resistant bacteria in lab and mouse studies

Researchers demonstrate a novel method to build microscopic robots with complex shapes and functionalities

A common and adverse consequence of drinking is the blackout, which is reported by up to 50 percent of drinkers

Astrophysicists at UC San Diego have measured the minute gravitational distortions in polarized radiation from the early universe and discovered that these ancient microwaves can provide an important cosmological test of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. These measurements have the potential to narrow down the estimates for the mass of ghostly subatomic particles known as neutrinos.

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego is kicking off its 2014 series of “Data Mining Boot Camps”
