Solar panels at UC Merceds Science and Engineering building. The University of California is a major contributor to the state’s prosperity, generating $82 billion in economic activity per year and supporting more than half a million jobs, according to an independent economic analysis released this week. Beacon Economics evaluated UC’s fiscal impacts on California and found that university activities in education, health care, research and public service create economic benefits in every c...

How to Find Mutated Sperm? Just Go FISH Chemotherapy and radiation treatments are known to cause harsh side effects that patients can see or feel throughout their bodies. Yet there are additional, unseen and often undiscussed consequences of these important therapies: the impacts on their future pregnancies and hopes for healthy children. Extensive evidence shows that chemotherapy and radiation treatments are genotoxic, meaning they can mutate the DNA and damage chromosomes in patients’ canc...

Ideas, Inventions And Innovations Study: X-Rays Surrounding ‘Magnificent 7’ May Be Traces of Sought-After Particle Researchers say they may have found proof of theorized axions, and possibly dark matter, around group of neutron stars. An artistic rendering of the XMM-Newton (X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission) space telescope. A study of archival data from the XMM-Newton and the Chandra X-ray space telescopes found evidence of high levels of X-ray emission from the nearby Magnificent Seven neutr...

Chemotherapy and radiation treatments are known to cause harsh side effects that patients can see or feel throughout their bodies.

A test developed by Berkeley Lab scientists can quickly and easily detect whether sperm cells are carrying chromosomal defects, an advance that will help men who have undergone cancer treatment father healthy children.

A new study, led by a theoretical physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), suggests that

A new study, led by a theoretical physicist at Berkeley Lab, suggests that never-before-observed particles called axions may be the source of unexplained, high-energy X-ray emissions surrounding a group of neutron stars.

Ozone Generators May Help Remediate Contamination Caused by Thirdhand Smoke In 10 years of studying thirdhand smoke, which is the toxic cigarette residue that clings to virtually all indoor surfaces for months or years, Berkeley Lab scientist Hugo Destaillats said the most frequent question he hears from the public is how to remediate property where a smoker once lived. Remediation companies frequently use ozone generators to eliminate odors from mold, tobacco, and fire damage, blasting homes w...
