A newly described fossil reveals that leeches are at least 200 million years older than scientists previously thought, and that their earliest ancestors may have feasted not on blood, but on smaller marine creatures. 

UCR-developed technology will allow scientists to peer deeper into the universe

How global warming may overcorrect into an ice age.

Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy and complex, consistently results in highly symmetrical icosahedral structures. 

A $2 million grant to UC Riverside will explore how gut bacteria shape human health.

Research team includes astrophysicists, computer scientists, artists, and philosophers from UC Riverside, USC, and Carnegie Observatories

Scientists say the warming climate is triggering chemical reactions that leach toxic metals into once-pristine Arctic waters, degrading fish habitat, water quality, and life for local people.
