Humans have endeavored to predict the weather since time immemorial. Far from a mere perk, our ability to accurately forecast has been tied to our very survival. And as meteorology developed into an ...

Ozempic has been making headlines for its remarkable success in treating obesity and diabetes. Yet it is just one in a rapidly growing class of drugs called peptide therapeutics that sits between ...

Young star systems are a place of violent collisions between rocks, comets, asteroids and larger objects as the dust and ice of a stellar nebula coalesce into planets and moons. But the largest ...

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to investigate the inner workings of the ocean’s carbon cycle. A series of storms ...

Before you can address a problem, you need to understand its scope. That’s why the United Nations developed the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification System. Aid organizations rely on analyses ...

Expanding their worldview and gathering class credits along the way, upward of 1,300 UC Santa Barbara students are projected to study across the globe this academic year — participants in a campus ...

In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the current view of how carbon dioxide is “fixed” in ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

The path toward realizing practical quantum technologies begins with understanding the fundamental physics that govern quantum behavior — and how those phenomena can be harnessed in real materials. In ...

Even as coal power continues its steady decline in the United States, more than a hundred plants still have no retirement plans — a gap large enough to derail national climate goals. A new study led ...

UC Santa Barbara physicists John Martinis and Michel Devoret have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. Selected for the honor alongside UC Berkeley physicist and former advisor John Clarke, ...

Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...
