A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life across the South Pacific Ocean.
Several N3AS researchers, including from UC San Diego, have shown how collapsing massive stars can act as a "neutrino collider,” which may result in either a neutron star remnant or black hole remnant, depending on the “flavor” of the neutrinos.
A team of researchers from the University of California Los Angeles and the University of California San Diego have discovered positive uses for AI and extra credit assignments to help improve student performance in introductory physics courses, including reducing the impacts of inequities.
A study led by UC San Diego biologists is calling attention to the availability of food for bees in the Southwestern U.S. Non-native honey bees, the study found, extract an overwhelming majority of pollen from regional flowers, posing a significant ecological threat to native bee species.
The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The NSF-funded microscope will help scientists uncover precisely why corals bleach, informing remediation efforts.
How do humans and animals make decisions? Researchers deployed AI in innovative ways to understand this process. By using tiny artificial neural networks, the researchers’ work illuminates in detail what drives an individual’s actual choices — regardless of whether those choices are optimal or not.
