UCI astronomer will be one of the first to conduct research with the world’s premier space telescope

The widespread adoption of electrified transportation is seen as an important step in slowing climate change, but that depends on our ability to produce enough batteries for this and other applications. Huolin Xin, UCI associate professor of physics & astronomy, recently collaborated with scientists at UC San Diego and leading national laboratories to identify a […]

Collaboration produces most stringent test yet for existence of elusive particles

20 percent more than last year, the total reflects strong support for campus mission

Researchers will develop new substances for manufacturing, defense and health

Using three observatories on Maunakea in Hawaiʻi, astronomers at the University of Arizona have discovered the second-most distant quasar ever found. As part of an international effort to confirm and study the newly discovered object, a team at UCI and UC Santa Barbara used the Keck II 10-meter telescope to perform a spectroscopic analysis. The […]

The U.S. Department of Energy has chosen Houlin Xin, UCI assistant professor of physics & astronomy, as an awardee in its DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program. Xin will receive $150,000 per year for five years to support his project to develop transmission electron microscopy imaging technologies for making lithium-ion battery electrodes more […]
