Researchers have captured unprecedented images of the mechanisms that allow mosquitoes, the world’s deadliest animal, to target our blood. The scientists used advanced imaging technology to assemble detailed visualizations of the neurons within hairs that mosquitoes use to detect us as blood hosts.
This Halloween, take a walk through the shadowy corners of research and discovery: where viruses hunt bacteria, dragonfish hide their teeth, seabirds spiral through the skies and telescopes scan the dark for alien light.
In a first-of-its-kind test, engineers at UC San Diego are experimenting with large, mobile batteries to both charge electric construction vehicles, and also support a more resilient electric grid.
Patients referred to a diabetes management and education clinic led by pharmacists saw meaningful improvements in blood sugar levels over time, underscoring the critical role pharmacists can play in supporting this high-risk group.
Synchronization abounds in nature and now researchers at UC San Diego have unlocked the mathematics that govern oscillators operating at similar frequencies in the intestine that lock onto each other in succession creating a staircase effect.
The new technique, dubbed "Flexlink," splits a signal into parts so that critical information can be prioritized.
