What if your smartphone could help solve a cosmic mystery? Prof. Daniel Whiteson @DanielWhiteson is searching for new #particles that could reshape our understanding of the #universe. Join us on Nov 6 to learn how billions of phones could make that possible. Limited spots

Ever wondered if aliens understand #physics the way we do? Professor Daniel Whiteson has, and he wrote a whole book about it: Do Aliens Speak Physics? Whiteson is known for asking bold, imaginative questions that challenge how we think about the universe. This Thursday, he brings

UC Irvine scientists have developed a new, cost-effective method for cities to measure greenhouse gas emissions — using something as simple as turfgrass. Led by Professor Claudia Czimczik and former UCI doctoral student Cindy Yañez, the study shows that analyzing radiocarbon in

UC Irvine and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are deepening their partnership through new joint appointments that are accelerating discoveries in quantum science and training the next generation of researchers. Professor Luis Jauregui of UCI and Michael Pettes of LANL are

The UCI–LANL–SoCal Hub Graduate Fellowship Program has named four new fellows for its 2024–2025 cohort! Now in its third year, the program connects UC Irvine graduate students with leading scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, supporting cutting-edge collaborations in

UC Irvine chemistry Ph.D. student Audrey Miles visited Washington, D.C. with the Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation to advocate for science-backed legislation and clean #nuclear #energy. During her visit, she met with leaders from the White House, Department of Energy, and

Press release: UC Irvine astronomers have identified a nearby exoplanet, GJ 251 c, located in its star’s habitable zone where liquid water could exist on the surface. The planet may be rocky like Earth and several times more massive, making it a “super-Earth.” At just 18

A UC Irvine Ghost Story This Halloween season, UC Irvine is haunted… by science. Meet the neutrino — the “ghost particle” co-discovered by UCI Nobel laureate Frederick Reines during Project Poltergeist. Nearly invisible and passing through us by the billions every second,

How one Earth system scientist mastered climate science communication How do you make complex climate science click with the public? For Zack Labe ’20 (Ph.D., Earth System Science, UC Irvine), the answer is simple: let the data speak. From tracking snowstorms as a kid in

This week, as the world celebrates new Nobel laureates in Physics and Chemistry, UC Irvine honors the 30th anniversary of our own! Frederick Reines and F. Sherwood Rowland made history in 1995 with discoveries that changed science—and the world. @NobelPrize

At UC Irvine, undergraduate student Katherine Frields has found the perfect intersection of her childhood love for nature and her passion for data science. Read more about Katherine's research: https://t.co/ICfpIfvQW3 #UCIPride #ZotZot #ClimateScience #DataScience #UCIResearch

Spotted at LAX! Dr. Weihong Wang snapped a selfie with none other than Dr. Barbara Finlayson-Pitts, our very own atmospheric chemistry trailblazer, featured in a global ad campaign for her 2025 L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award! Keep your eyes peeled—you might spot Dr.

🚨 Research Spotlight 🚨 Electrons flowing like liquid? 🌊⚡️ A UC Irvine-led team has developed the first universal theory of electron hydrodynamics in metals — opening the door to low-resistance, heat-efficient microchips and next-gen tech. Read more at https://t.co/fUfg0O4gFw

For the first time ever @UCIrvine scientists, collaborating with @NSF and @ENERGY, imaged atomic vibrations in specific directions. This could revolutionize American-made superconductors, semiconductors, and quantum devices. #SpeakUp4Science

Join us for a special morning lecture celebrating the International Year of #Quantum #Science and #Technology. This public event will explore the transformative potential of quantum science—from the mysteries of quantum materials to the future of computing and communication.

Research Spotlight: The global land surface may absorb less carbon dioxide than previously thought. @uciess researchers develop a new carbon budget with a weaker land sink.

What's the best way to help kids learn math? Professor Alessandra Pantano of the UC Irvine Department of Mathematics has a theory and the data to back it up. Read more about Pantano's work, and how it's changing lives in Orange County. https://t.co/x9XvX0CGns

@DanielWhiteson Interested in learning more? Join us on Nov. 6 for The Evans Family Beyond Lecture: Observing the Universe With Your Phone, where Prof. Whiteson will give an in-depth look at his CRAYFIS project. Register:

Congratulations to Prof. @DanielWhiteson for receiving a grant from the Julian Schwinger Foundation! His innovative CRAYFIS project aims to transform ordinary smartphones into a vast array of detectors to track cosmic rays—high-energy particles from space hitting Earth's
