Executive Leadership Seminar aims to educate the world’s park and protected area leaders, with stops in the Bay Area, at UC Merced and at Yosemite National Park.
UC Merced biochemistry Professor Henry Jay Forman discovers that tobacco smoke activates an enzyme that causes cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body.
UC Merced Professor Lara Kueppers is attempting to learn how tree species acclimated to cold weather will respond to the higher temperatures predicted by climate change experts
UC Merced researchers show that a protein found in humans stops regeneration when disabled in planaria, providing a potential strategy for preventing the growth of cancer cells
Peter Balakian, who brought renewed attention to the Armenian Genocide, will be the 2012 recipient of the Alice and Clifford Spendlove Prize in Social Justice, Diplomacy and Tolerance.
UC Merced Professor Shawn Newsam receives prestigious National Science Foundation award to fund work on gathering geographic insight from user-submitted photos and videos.
Diaries belonging to a Civil War soldier who witnessed the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln have been digitized and published by UC Merced's Kolligian Library.
UC Merced engineering Professor Ming-Hsuan Yang receives National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award to improve visual tracking abilities in machines.
A team of UC Merced professors and students discovered that changing the shape of a solar concentrator significantly increases its efficiency, bringing its use closer to reality
UC Merced researchers show burning of sugarcane fields prior to harvest can create more pollution than previously thought, detracting from benefits of the alternative fuel source.
Less water used by trees would result in more runoff, which could benefit farmers and water managers statewide; Project will examine impacts on forest health and other ecosystem services.
In a significant step toward reducing the threat of HIV, UC Merced Professor Patricia LiWang has designed what may be the most effective chemical inhibitor against infection of the virus.
National Science Foundation to fund wireless sensor networks in the American River Basin, allowing real-time measurement of snowpack and prediction of critical water cycles.
UC Merced Professor Roland Winston and his team of student researchers have designed and developed a system that gathers and concentrates sunlight onto specially made collector tubes. The heat generated can then be transformed using existing technology for cooling, heating and other potential uses.
National Institutes of Health awards $2.6 million grant to researchers with UCSF and UC Merced to study tobacco programs at the state and local level.
UC Merced biochemistry professor Andy LiWang has found how three proteins in one of the most basic forms of life — cyanobacteria — keep track of time.
Innovative new design is modeled on nervous systems, creating computers that can learn through experience, find correlations, create hypotheses and remember outcomes.
A relatively simple combination of naturally occurring sugars and amino acids offers a plausible route to the building blocks of life, according to a paper published in Nature Chemistry co-authored by a professor at the University of California, Merced. The study shows how the precursors to RNA could have formed on Earth before any life existed, and it builds on the work of John D. Sutherland and Matthew W. Powner, published in 2009.
Research by UC Merced Professor Anthony Westerling shows large fires could become annual events by 2050, transforming the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in fundamental ways
