Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have identified and described two of the otherworldly species highlighted in the latest “Top 10 New Marine Species” list from the World Register of Marine Species.
Base editing is still a new technology. Alexis Komor is working to improve its efficiency, while lowering unwanted bystander edits. This occurs when a base editor not only edits the desired nucleobase, but edits surrounding bases as well. Komor’s lab has developed a way to minimize bystander edits.
A new study analyzing more than 2,300 seawater samples from around the world has found that human-made chemicals — from plastic additives and industrial lubricants to pharmaceuticals and pesticides — are widespread in the marine environment, particularly in coastal and estuarine waters.
If you think “instantaneous” happens in a second, you should meet Haiwang Yong. An assistant professor of chemistry at the University of California San Diego, Yong uses ultrafast spectroscopy to observe the motion of atoms and electrons in femtoseconds, equal to 10-15 of a second.
A new study led by researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography finds that the time between multi-day smoke events is shrinking — leaving communities with less time to recover before smoke returns.
Leading experts from the University of California San Diego are set to return to Austin, Texas, for the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) conference to showcase groundbreaking research and innovation to a global audience.
