Diagnosis with one or both disorders should trigger rage-focused treatment

Researchers urge greater control of resultant erosion in future scenarios

As his investiture ceremony approaches March 31, UCI’s chancellor, Howard Gillman, sets high goals

UCI Earth system scientist Steve Davis is among a group of leading scientists who make a case in the journal Science this week that growing global challenges have rendered obsolete sharply segregated research and expertise. The world has little use, and precious little time, for one-subject experts, they argue. Traditional, single-discipline approaches to such crises as air pollution, […]

Irvine, Calif., Jan. 23, 2015 – UC Irvine and Australian chemists have figured out how to unboil egg whites – an innovation that could dramatically reduce costs for cancer treatments, food production and other segments of the $160 billion global biotechnology industry, according to findings published today in the journal ChemBioChem. “Yes, we have invented […]

Irvine, Calif., Dec. 16, 2014 – No matter which way you slice it – or in this case, inflate it – minimum wage increases result in long-term job loss, according to David Neumark, UC Irvine Chancellor’s Professor of economics. That’s the finding of a study published last week in the IZA Journal of Labor Policy. “There has […]

Your smartphone could become part of the world’s largest telescope. A team led by UC Irvine physicist Daniel Whiteson and UC Davis physicist Michael Mulhearn has designed an app to turn the global network of smartphones into a planet-sized cosmic ray detector, according to a paper posted today to the physics website arXiv.

Irvine, Calif., Oct. 3, 2014 – Are kids a career killer for women? A new study by UC Irvine sociologists concludes that motherhood imposes a long-term professional penalty from which women in the workforce never fully recover. The career costs are less pronounced in countries that allocate more funds to child care. “Researchers have long […]

Abundant supplies of natural gas will do little to reduce harmful U.S. emissions causing climate change, according to researchers at UC Irvine, Stanford University, and the nonprofit organization Near Zero. They found that inexpensive gas boosts electricity consumption and hinders expansion of cleaner energy sources, such as wind and solar.
