UC Berkeley was honored today (Sept. 22) as the nation’s top public university by U.S. News & World Report, with programs in economics and data science singled out as the best among every school in the country.

For the fourth year in a row, UC Berkeley graduates have founded more venture-backed companies than undergraduate alumni from any other university in the world, according to the 2026 PitchBook university rankings. 

Aug. 19, 2026 — AI is an increasingly useful tool for researchers across the scientific landscape, showing deep promise for accelerating discovery and innovation. However, incorporating AI into research may require training and adjustment for scientists—and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), in conjunction with organizers from other institutions, is bridging that gap.

Aug. 18, 2026 — Biology doesn’t happen at one scale. Molecular interactions unfold in milliseconds and nanometers, while disease-associated change such as in Alzheimer’s spreads across millimeters of brain tissue. Understanding complex biological systems requires scientists to watch both — ideally at the same time and with the same sample. Historically, this has meant shuttling samples…

The Berkeley College Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Management program will offer a concentration in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Business Analytics beginning in the fall. 

Aug. 13, 2026 — Accurately predicting ground shaking is vital for seismic hazard assessment and infrastructure safety. However, infrequent, large-magnitude events are difficult to model due to the paucity of data from ground motion sensors of past events and the complexity of the physics. The ground motions at any given point span a wide range of…

Aug. 10, 2026 — The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys team has released the largest-ever 2D color map of the universe. The 5.6-trillion-pixel map contains nearly 4 billion celestial objects, primarily stars and galaxies. The data is available for all to use and publicly viewable through the Legacy Survey Sky Viewer.
