UC Irvine Department of Physics & Astronomy @UCIPhysAstro Ph.D. candidate Loraine Sandoval Ascencio studies galaxies. But when she was younger she never thought her journey would take her to the stars. “I didn’t grow up thinking being an astronomer was a career,” Sandoval.

UC Irvine researchers in @UCIPhysAstro are advancing #neutrino #research as leaders in the international #JUNO project. The collaboration just reached a major milestone after 10 years of planning and construction. The detector, now collecting data, will probe the unknown ordering

Scientists @UCIPhysAstro have discovered a new state of quantum matter -- a leap forward that could help give rise to technology primed for deep space travel.

UCI Physics & Astronomy @uciphysastro graduate student Steven Crisostomo just finished his Ph.D. studying quantum science alongside Professor Kieron Burke. But his path into the quantum realm started in an unexpected place: an art gallery in New York.

Meet our four new faculty! Their research ranges from chemical catalysis to climate change impact mitigation. @UCIChemistry @uciess

From advancing clean energy to strengthening public health, our researchers are tackling some of society’s biggest challenges with the help of federal funding. Explore their stories and see the real-world value of sustained investment in science. #Science

Roy T. Eddleman’s legacy lives on through the Eddleman Quantum Institute, a groundbreaking collaboration between @UCIrvine, @Caltech, and @UCSantaBarbara. With over $64M in support, EQI is shaping the future of quantum science and empowering the next generation of innovators.

Professor James Nowick @UCIChemistry and John Dumas planned gift will create endowed chemistry chair. The gift will also create an endowed chair in the School of Humanities @UCIHumCore.

Can smarter flight paths help cool the planet? New research from @ucirvine says yes. By rethinking how we fly—like reducing contrails or nitrogen oxide emissions—we can make a dent in aviation’s #climate impact, even if it means a slight bump in fuel use. The key? A new tool

Professors Javier Sanchez-Yamagishi and Luis A. Jauregui @uciphysastro named fellows for new Research Corporation for Science Advancement Initiative. The initiative, called Sialog: Quantum Matter and Information, will support quantum materials research @UCIrvine.

Congratulations to our new NSF graduate research fellows: Massee Akbar, Emma Brass, Jay Krishnan, Chad Moorman, Silas Scribner. Their NSF-funded research tackles everything from nano-tech medical devises to the origins of the cosmos. @UCIPhysAstro @UCIChemistry @UCIrvine.

🎓 Congratulations to the 489 undergraduate and 105 graduate students who make up the School of Physical Sciences Class of 2025! Best wishes to all our graduating Anteaters—your journey is just beginning! #ZotZotZot #UCIPride #UCICommencement

A revolution in lithium-ion battery technology is happening at #UCIPhysSci. Discover the “magical” new material Professor Huolin Xin @uciphysastro and his lab developed that promises to not only make lithium batteries cheaper, but to also alleviate ethical concerns about the

Three faculty members have received @UCIrvine Anti-Cancer Challenge funding for groundbreaking research in #cancer diagnosis, treatment & cures. Congrats to Professors Vy Dong, John Lowengrub & Qing Nie! @ucimath @UCIChemistry
