“Friendly” is not a word typically associated with hospital care. But it quickly became a guiding concept for UCI Health — Irvine, the nation’s first all-electric acute care hospital. Powered by the research of UC Irvine, it is the future of healthcare: technologically advanced, sustainable and designed to promote the healing power of nature. The hospital is the third and final building to open in the medical complex. |

UC Irvine researchers have launched a powerful neutrino detector at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory in China, marking a new chapter in physics discovery. Scientists will probe the unknown ordering of masses of neutrinos – elusive particles central to understanding our universe. “This is an incredibly exciting time for us. After working on the design and construction of this project for over a decade, the time has finally come when we can turn on this cutting-edge scientific instrument,” said J. Pedro Ochoa-Ricoux, professor of physics and astronomy. The JUNO experiment is supported by the National Science Foundation. |
