UCI Researchers Harness the Power of Mathematical Modeling to Understand the Effectiveness of Aspirin on Colorectal Cancer Prevention
University of California, Irvine

Aspirin can significantly reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer, and this protection can be the result of changed evolutionary processes of cells within patients, according to mathematical models produced by UCI researchers and partners. Results from the study were published in eLife Sciences. Colorectal cancer affects about 5% of the U.

The Source of the Aurora Borealis: Electrons Surfing on Alfvén Waves
Department of Energy, Office of Science

New experiments have shown the source of the aurora borealis. Researchers have demonstrated Alfvén waves accelerating electrons under conditions that correspond to Earth’s magnetosphere. The new experiments show that electrons “surf” on the electric field of the Alfvén wave in a plasma. These electrons are the ultimate source of the light we call the aurora borealis.
