With near-atomic precision, a USC Dornsife team of scientists visualized for the first time how opioids and the antidote Narcan engage a key brain receptor, offering insight that could lead to improved pain treatments and overdose reversal.
USC, home of the first operational quantum computer in academia, hosted its second quantum technology forum, bringing together leading experts from industry, academia and government.
A USC Dornsife study shows that combining brain imaging methods may help forecast which adolescents are most at risk for developing anxiety disorders, years before symptoms appear.
Three scientists discovered that even everyday circuits can act in strange quantum ways, leading to powerful new computers.
The five-year Research Training Group award will fund groundbreaking research in geometry and representation theory while supporting students and educators across Los Angeles.
Support from USC Dornsife alumni enables graduate students to attend science conferences and present their research to the broader scientific community.
By focusing on a trigger of brain inflammation, USC Dornsife’s Vsevolod “Seva” Katritch and USC colleagues pursue a new drug therapy and now understand why some people with a key risk factor for the disease develop dementia.
Most species still lack their own sequenced genome. New research led by USC Dornsife shows that when studies rely on similar but different species, findings from genetic data can be distorted by up to 60% — putting vulnerable species at greater risk.
USC Dornsife researchers say powerful, fast-moving quakes could strike the Golden State, urge stronger building codes and better monitoring.
