Researchers in Ania Bleszynski Jayich’s lab use a mechanical resonator to enable greater entanglement for potentially more powerful sensors. Most people think of diamonds as high-end adornments. Not ...

UC Santa Barbara doctoral candidate in physics, Skyler Palatnick, PhD ’26, has been named to Heising-Simons Foundation’s Science program’s new class of 51 Pegasi b Fellows, which he will perform at ...

Caitlin Casey is an observational astronomer with expertise in high-redshift galaxies. She uses the most massive and unusual galaxies at early times to test fundamental properties of galaxy assembly ...

Events on campus and off, including the inaugural Soltopia community festival in Isla Vista, are expected to be a big draw for UC Santa Barbara students over the first weekend of April — and to ...

Katja Seltmann is the Director of the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration. The center's mission is to preserve and enhance our natural heritage through leading biodiversity ...

Charles Wolfe’s research and teaching interests include film history and theory; historiography; American cinema and cultural history; documentary film and photography; comedy; adaptation; and the ...

Humans have engineered climate change by manipulating the environment. There’s a hope that we may also be able to mitigate this, predominantly through reducing emissions, but in some cases by ...

The seas have long sustained human life, but a new UC Santa Barbara study shows that rising climate and human pressures are pushing the oceans toward a dangerous threshold. Vast and powerful, the ...

Rivers are Earth’s arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a single pathway, while ...

Proteins are the workhorses of life. Organisms use them as building blocks, receptors, processors, couriers and catalysts. A protein’s structure is critical to its function. Malformed proteins not ...

Haewon Jeong, an assistant professor in UC Santa Barbara’s Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department, experienced a pivotal moment in her academic career when she was a postdoctoral fellow ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the universe. For Joseph Farah, a fifth-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara ...
