UC San Diego scientists have uncovered a transformative new understanding of heart attacks. The research, which connects the heart, brain and nervous and immune systems, shows that blocking key signals can lead to new treatments for heart attacks and minimize their resulting damage.
UC San Diego Professor of Physics Brian Maple is an alumnus who has been with the university since the 1960s. In this Q&A, he discusses his work in condensed matter physics, his long tenure at UC San Diego, and a rager of a conference known as the “Woodstock of Physics.”
A new study from Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientists finds that marine microbes had mostly positive interactions with one another during a six-year study. These positive interactions became even more common during times of environmental stress.
Scientists from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Scripps Polar Center are at the bottom of the world conducting field research in Antarctica this season.
For the first time, a study from researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego integrates climate-related damages to the ocean into the social cost of carbon— a measure of economic harm caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
Across California, researchers, farmers, technologists and universities are launching a bold vision for the future of farming: “precision agriculture,” an approach that uses advanced sensors, networking and artificial intelligence to help growers make more informed decisions.
