After an exceptionally poor snow season, one of Arizona’s largest reservoirs shrank to less than 1% full, wiping out nearly all its fish and leaving its recovery dependent on future rains. The Gila River is a vital waterway in the American Southwest, supplying water for communities, agriculture, and wildlife as it flows from the snow-covered […]
This 400-Year-Old Shark May Hold the Secret to Preserving Human Vision
A UC Irvine study identifies a DNA mechanism that helps these sharks maintain their vision over centuries. On a computer screen in her UC Irvine office, Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk watches a Greenland shark drift through the dark Arctic water. Its body moves slowly through the murk, but what catches her attention is not the shark’s size […]
Hip Replacements Are Lasting Far Longer Than Doctors Once Thought
A large international study suggests today’s hip replacements may last much longer than previously thought. Hip replacement surgery has become so successful that more people are receiving new hips at younger ages than ever before. That success has also raised an important question: can today’s artificial joints keep pace with decades of active living? A […]

Your Daily Orange Juice Could Have an Unexpected Health Benefit
A modest daily glass of orange juice may influence inflammation, blood flow, and other markers tied to long-term heart health. Orange juice is often treated as a familiar breakfast drink, not something that might alter what is happening inside immune cells. But emerging research suggests that regular intake may influence biological pathways tied to inflammation, […]

New Research Could Help Break China’s Rare Earth Magnet Monopoly
The magnets powering electric cars and wind turbines come with a hidden environmental cost. Swedish researchers are working on a cleaner alternative. The global transition to clean energy depends on a handful of materials that most people never see. Rare earth magnets power everything from electric vehicles and offshore wind turbines to smartphones and advanced […]
