In a study appearing in Physical Review C, UC Davis researchers use computational models of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider data to show how scientists can refine their search for signals of the supercritical phase of nuclear matter, divorcing background noise from legitimate signals in the data.
As an assistant diving and boating safety officer for UC Davis based at Bodega Marine Laboratory, Abbey Dias works with UC Davis researchers to coordinate and provide guidance for critical fieldwork that’s helping us understand the health of our oceans and waterways, and in turn, our global climate.
A group of researchers, including some from UC Davis, have received a three-year, $2,999,998 grant from NASA to identify and characterize life and its biosignatures in frozen sand dunes in Alaska, under conditions similar to dune fields on early Mars and Saturn’s moon Titan.
In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, Paddy on the Binge will play a concert featuring traditional Irish tunes Saturday, March 15 at Central Park in Davis. Cloud scientist and musician Emma Ware discusses how science and music play roles in her life.
The 25th R. Bryan Miller Symposium kicked off March 6 at the UC Davis Conference Center and ran through March 7. To commemorate the 25th anniversary, some members from the Department of Chemistry and Miller's family recently shared their thoughts on the symposium, retracing its founding and the legacy of its namesake.
The UC Davis Paleontology Collection contains thousands of specimens, the oldest of which are nearly 2 billion years old. In this listicle, faculty member and collections manager David Gold highlights some of his favorite specimens.
In a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, researchers reveal a markedly different ecosystem from the smaller number of satellite galaxies that circle our Milky Way in the nearby Andromeda galaxy.
Our planet’s history is one of extreme climate cycles that repeat across time, with insights into the Earth’s previous responses still accessible today. This is part of what Isabel Montañez is working to understand — what these moments might teach us about our changing climate and future climate conditions.
In a new study appearing in JACS Au, UC Davis researchers harness the power of machine learning to improve the molecular interpretation of a spectroscopy technique that’s prominently used to investigate the air-ice interface, the critical boundary area for these chemical reactions.
Mathematics and theatrics combine this April in Diving into Math with Emmy Noether, a play about the pioneering and influential mathematician who is often referred to as the “mother of modern algebra.” The play will be performed at the Wyatt Pavillion Theater on April 9 at 6 p.m. as part of portraittheater Vienna’s spring 2025 USA tour.
