Researchers created a system that lets robots effectively use grasped tools with the correct amount of force.
Researchers with UC Santa Cruz’s ecological aquaculture facility have developed a new life cycle sustainability assessment documenting the environmental benefits and impacts of using the marine microalga Schizochytrium sp. as an alternative aquaculture feed ingredient to replace fish oil sourced from wild-caught forage fish.
By continuously monitoring a patient’s gait speed, the system can assess the condition’s severity between visits to the doctor’s office.
Novel findings are a promising step in the development of new tests for cancer early detection
An international team of scientists has analyzed archive data for powerful cosmic explosions from the deaths of stars and found a new way to measure distances in the distant universe.
Instruments carried by migrating elephant seals measured deep warm-water anomalies that lasted much longer than the surface warming
Addressing “gateways within gateway courses,” specific factors that hold able students back from success in introductory courses, may provide a path forward for closing equity gaps for students pursuing engineering degrees.
As rates of youth mental health issues soar in the United States, new research offers surprising insights into how social factors affect trends for LGBTQ+ youth, who are especially at risk due to the harmful effects of discrimination.
An analysis of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes finds that recombination of the virus is uncommon, but when it occurs, it is most often in the spike protein region, the area which allows the virus to attach to and infect host cells.
Economics Professor Robert Fairlie received the Bradford-Osborne Research Award for the second year in a row.
Relying on evaporation and radiation — but not electricity — the system could keep food fresh longer or supplement air conditioning in buildings.
In planetary disks, carbon monoxide is lurking in large chunks of ice, solving the decade-old question, ‘Where is the CO?’
During midterm elections this November, voters across the country will head to the polls to decide who should represent them for the next two years in the U.S. House of Representatives
The James Webb Space Telescope is helping astronomers characterize the atmospheres of planets very different from those in our solar system
While observing a newly-dormant galaxy using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), scientists discovered that it had stopped forming stars not because it had used up all of its gas but because most of its star-forming fuel had been thrown out of the system as it merged with another galaxy.
Researchers develop a new method that uses multiple models to create more complex images with better understanding.
UCSC scientists reported three crystal structures of periodic rippled beta sheets, a novel protein structure with potential applications in biomedicine and materials science
Nearly 20 years after publishing his paper “The element of surprise in timed games,” UC Santa Cruz Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Luca de Alfaro received a surprise himself: he won the 2022 CONCUR test of time award.
Assistant Professor Ariel Furst and her colleagues are looking to DNA to help guide the process.
