New research from UC Santa Cruz shows incremental improvements in the representation of autistic adults in film, television, books, media coverage, and advocacy organization websites.
The idea that chaos is rare in natural populations may be due to methodological and data limitations, rather than the inherent stability of ecosystems
Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have identified specific elements of tone and style in online speech that are linked to hyperpartisan echo chambers. The findings are now published in the journal Discourse & Society.
Inspired by jellyfish and octopuses, PhD candidate Juncal Arbelaiz investigates the theoretical underpinnings that will enable systems to more efficiently adapt to their environments.

A new study maps the genes and cellular pathways that contribute to exercise-induced weight loss.
Cobalt-based catalysts could be used to turn mixed plastic waste into fuel, new plastics, and other products.
A system for monitoring motion and muscle engagement could aid the elderly and athletes during unsupervised physical rehabilitation for injuries or impaired mobility.
A study, conducted by the University of Missouri, suggests that individuals' political leanings, despite being present at the local level, don't appear to overshadow how they perceive the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their own communities
Researchers at the University of Missouri and Indiana University believe an early warning sign of a recession in the U.S. economy could come from companies' manipulated financial statements.
Researchers from Rice University, Stanford University, and the University of Texas at Austin have discovered a new way to produce solvated electrons through interactions between light and metal.
