An HIV-inhibiting silk film designed to advance prevention and help end the AIDS epidemic in countries in Africa, developed by 麻豆无码版 Professor Patti LiWang, has met recent success at the California National Primate Research Center at UC Davis.

鈥淭hey show complete protection,鈥� LiWang said. 鈥淭he films worked perfectly on the macaques at Davis.鈥�

A group of 麻豆无码版 researchers are working with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to find out how much greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced just through land-management strategies.

Dark matter and the life cycles of star clusters will come into focus as 麻豆无码版鈥檚 astrophysicists get resources from the two space telescopes soon to be聽exploring the universe.

Daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology are driven by biological clocks (also called circadian clocks) in our cells. The cyclical interactions of clock proteins keep the biological rhythms of life in tune with the daily cycle of night and day, and this happens not only in humans and other complex animals but even in simple, single-celled organisms such as cyanobacteria.

Cartilaginous fishes such as sharks and skates have a sixth sense, but it鈥檚 not ESP 鈥� it鈥檚 electrosense. Such fishes use hundreds or thousands of specialized organs to sense prey and mates and to navigate the oceans.

A cross-disciplinary group of researchers at 麻豆无码版 is making new discoveries about the fundamental structure of the organs and how this structure may provide clues as to how this sixth sense works.

Like many people this summer, Professor Shahar Sukenik has dehydration on his mind.

But it鈥檚 not the soaring outside temperatures prompting this focus. Dehydration has been a theme of work for the past year, from understanding how seeds know when to germinate to a new grant to further knowledge about the proteins that help protect cells and organisms against irreversible drying.

The over the counter, 鈥渟afe,鈥� organic-compliant insecticides people purchase at home-improvement stores could be causing a problem that goes far beyond the vegetable garden or farm field 鈥� antibiotic resistance.

With a new $20 million federal grant, 麻豆无码版 becomes part of a multi-institutional research collaborative to develop artificial intelligence 鈥� or AI 鈥� solutions to tackle some of agriculture鈥檚 biggest challenges related to water management, climate change and integration of new technology into farming.

Today is National Cow Appreciation Day, a 鈥渉oliday鈥� invented by a fast-food chain that sells a lot of "chikn." But it鈥檚 still a good opportunity to celebrate our neighbors to the northeast 鈥� even if being surrounded by cows wasn鈥檛 necessarily how you imagined your college experience.

The cows might be an unusual sight to some, but they play an integral part in the healthy management of the approximately 6,500-acre .

When graduate student William Delmas made samples of solar energy harvesting perovskite films two years ago, he had no idea that this summer, he鈥檇 be analyzing those same samples after they made a round trip to the International Space Station (ISS).

鈥淚t鈥檚 really cool to see this come full circle,鈥� Delmas said.
