NASA’s first multiple-satellite mission to another planet will map Mars’ magnetic field and atmosphere in 3D, laying the groundwork for human exploration.

2025 has been a tumultuous year for science, but that hasn’t stopped University of California scientists from making their mark in 2025. Four UC faculty won the Nobel Prize, setting a new world record. And across all 10 UC campuses, researchers made progress against devastating diseases, invented new technologies, devised new ways to stay safe during disasters and shed light on the mysteries of the galaxy, our planet and our past.

Federal funding has made many of these and so many other UC breakthroughs possible by supporting research advances that improve lives, power America’s security and grow the country’s economic strength. That’s why UC leaders continue to speak up for science, urging Congress to invest in discovery and reject proposed cuts to federal science agencies.

Learn about 10 amazing UC discoveries from the past year, brought to you by the incredible partnership between federal research funding and UC ingenuity.
