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

On Feb. 21, the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) at UC Riverside hosted its third annual IGNITE Student Professional Conference. For many of the more than 140 students who attended, it marked the first time they had sat across from a working engineer and had a candid conversation about what their future could look like. IGNITE bridges the distance between classroom learning and professional life by bringing together students, alumni, and industry partners for a full day of mentorship, skill building, and conversation. Held at the start of National Engineers Week, this

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.
