Thanks to work done at UC San Diego, imagine being able to wear a small patch on your arm that can continually run most of the lab tests you do once a year, at best.

Small enough to overlook, mosquitoes spread diseases that disrupt lives and strain communities across the globe.

The Belmont Village community includes residents in independent living, assisted living and memory care, allowing studies to reflect the full spectrum of aging.

At UC San Diego, the Human Performance Institute (HPI) brings together researchers, clinicians, engineers and athletes to explore the science of movement.

Human milk is a complex, living substance, filled with molecules, antibodies, cells and bacteria that shape early development and long-term health.

ALERTCalifornia cameras can provide views up to 60 miles on a clear day and 120 miles on a clear night.

Researchers at UC San Diego have for the first time found a direct airborne link between contaminated rivers and the air that surrounding communities breathe.

At UC San Diego, researchers are developing tools that use AI-read biopsies to rapidly identify the best treatment options for certain cancers.

Researchers at University of California San Diego have developed and tested a new software package, called Spatial Modeling Algorithms for Reactions and Transport (SMART), that can realistically simulate cell-signaling networks.

Advances in ultrasonic imaging technology and beamforming algorithms enable real-time flaw detection inside railroad tracks to prevent derailments.

The NOURISH platform designed to help small businesses increase access to healthy, sustainable food enters a new project phase.

More than 10 years ago, a team from the University of California San Diego and University of Washington investigated whether computing systems in cars could be hacked and how that would affect a driver’s ability to control their vehicle. To their own surprise — and to the alarm of car manufacturers — the researchers were able to manipulate the car in many ways, including disabling the brakes and stopping the engine, from a distance. Now the team has received the Golden Goose Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science to recognize the impact of their work.

Hospitals are increasingly reliant on networked technology to access patient records and run lifesaving medical equipment. Safeguarding these systems against cyberattacks requires constant vigilance.

Research on one of the world’s largest earthquake simulators has made buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure more earthquake-safe.

As University of California San Diego moves to better connect campus breakthroughs with urgent national security and civilian needs, the university has launched the FORGE, a new initiative designed to align defense priorities with the researchers, startups and partners best positioned to deliver practical solutions.

When America invests in research, the results can be life-changing. A patient survives surgery that once carried high risks. A wildfire is stopped before it reaches a neighborhood. A building stands firm when the ground shakes. A fighter pilot safely returns home.

On Feb. 13, NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and three crewmates lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida as part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission, bound for the International Space Station (ISS), an orbiting laboratory nearly 250 miles above Earth.

Could WWII have been lost without help from a pair of oceanographers? Here’s how two scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, studied ocean waves and ended up changing history.

Study finds that when clean energy incentives are applied consistently, the economy can reach an 80% reduction in energy-related carbon emissions by mid-century.
