The Department of Mechanical Engineering at UC Riverside welcomes two new faculty members whose expertise strengthens both teaching and research.

UC Riverside-led study confirms altermagnetism in hematite Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have confirmed a recently identified form of magnetism known as altermagnetism in hematite, a common iron oxide better known as rust. The findings, published in Physical Review Letters, establish hematite as a scalable and promising platform for future energy-efficient electronic technologies. For more than 75 years, physicists understood magnetism as either ferromagnetic, where atomic spins align to produce a net magnetic

UCR engineering scientists offer blueprint to cut pollution & prolong server life at big data processing centers

The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering recognizes the 20-year legacy of its Council of Advisors leadership, Gordon Bourns and Ernest Levister, and welcomes new leaders and members.

A UCR's Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program has established a successful track record in helping educationally underserved students — such as those from first-generation Hispanic/Latino households — excel in math and science and pursue a degree in engineering and other STEM fields.

UCR experiments offer a pathway for solar desalination solutions

The Highlander Space Program, a student aerospace engineering organization, marked two milestones: The successful launch of its first-ever liquid-fueled rocket and two awards from an international rocketry competition.

A new diagnostic metric combines charge data and environmental factors like traffic patterns, elevation changes, and ambient temperature to generate real-time predictions about whether an EV battery can complete a specific task.
