Public research university in San Diego, part of the University of California system, noted for engineering, physics, and public health research.

Merriam-Webster added at least six AI and computing terms, including 'agentic' and 'vibe coding', to its online dictionary in September. The entries show that specialist AI terms now circulate in mainstream print, but the dictionary's method cannot tell how many general readers understand them.
Reality
UC San Diego physicists compared eight Planck polarization maps against each other and recovered the same 0.37-degree twist as the standard analysis. The agreement gives cosmologists a second way to ask whether the rotation is in the sky or in the instrument, though the authors stress it does not confirm the twist is real.
Reality
UC San Diego and Inria researchers forged a 1024-bit RSA signature through an HSM in 1,380 core-years, against at least 500,000 to factor the key. The attack only works with raw, unpadded signing access, so how exposed a custodian is depends on how its HSM is configured.
Reality
UC San Diego and INRIA researchers forged RSA signatures on a 1,024-bit key inside a hardware security module after about 4 billion signing requests. The key stayed inside the device throughout, so for custodians the exposure is in signing settings, starting with the FIPS mode the researchers switched off.
Reality
Academic researchers hijacked the link between two Boeing 737 flight computers with a coin-sized board. The constraint was never budget or code. It was who can reach the nose bay.
Reality
A UC San Diego lab measured expression across about 500,000 initiator variants and fit a model to the result. The prevalence headline is the least useful part of it.
Reality
UC San Diego and Inria researchers report an attack, not yet peer reviewed, that cuts textbook RSA-2048 from 2^112 to 2^90 operations. It needs billions of queries against a raw RSA private key, so unmonitored HSMs and key-management services are the first place to look.
Reality
UC San Diego physicists cross-checked eight Planck polarization maps and found their relative calibration matches the standard analysis. The test cancels any rotation all detectors share, so the hinted 0.37-degree twist still needs an absolute angle reference.
Reality
A UC San Diego team imaged thousands of neurons in transparent 12-millimetre fish watching computer-generated schools, and found midbrain cells that treat a partner's sudden absence much as they treat a partner's flight.
Reality
High-harmonic X-ray sources normally emit only at integer multiples of their driving laser. A TU Wien and UC San Diego method detunes the driver instead, filling in the frequencies between two neighbouring harmonics.
Reality
UC San Diego researchers treated cancer cells with 25 mitochondria-perturbing compounds, collected 40,000 single-cell 4D movies, and trained a model that sorted the drugs by mechanism with the labels withheld.
Reality
A five-year, $3.3 million project led at Worcester Polytechnic Institute will test whether the biology that builds sea sponge skeletons can break silicon-rich industrial waste apart gently enough to free the minerals inside.
Reality
For years, dog cognition mostly asked owners what their dogs were like. Rossano's soundboard project and two newer studies measure the dogs instead, though the published account is short on samples and controls.
Reality
UC San Diego's election center puts confidence in the national vote count at 55%, down from 77% just after the 2024 election. The fall since January has been steepest among independents.
Reality
Researchers at Tulane's Newcomb Institute and UC San Diego asked a national sample of adults about violence across their whole lives. The eviction comparisons are the report's strongest numbers and the hardest to interpret causally.
Reality
A Science paper reads gene regulation cell by cell in the human hippocampus and finds embryonic microglia giving way to cells with blood-like inflammatory signatures across a 25-year band of adult life.
Reality
DFlash uses a diffusion model to draft three tokens at once and claims to beat EAGLE-3. On one consumer GPU running llama.cpp on a JavaScript coding task, it trailed the drafter Google ships with Gemma-4-12B-it.
Reality
Inclusions in one Antarctic meteorite cooled in a field of 150 to 600 microtesla, above anything Earth's surface sees today, which makes substituting extra gravity for magnetism in disc simulations harder to defend.
Reality
UC San Diego's cryo-EM structures show E. coli's transcription enzyme accepting hachimoji letters, with a companion paper finding it needs no hydrogen bonds to do so. Neither experiment happened inside a living cell.
Reality
UC San Diego physicists and neurobiologists report in Physical Review Letters that each fish follows a randomly chosen neighbor. A virtual-reality test backed the rule.
