Sensitive Yet Tough Photonic Devices Are Now a Reality
Engineers have achieved a long-sought milestone in photonics: creating tiny optical devices that are both highly sensitive and durable. This work could lead to a new generation of photonic devices that are not only precise and powerful but also much easier and cheaper to produce at scale.
New Cooling Tech Could Curb Data Centers' Rising Energy Demands
A new cooling technology could significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers and high-powered electronics while reducing water use associated with cooling. By passively removing heat through evaporation, it offers a promising alternative to traditional cooling systems.
Reimagining RFID: UC San Diego Researchers Develop Award-Winning Real-Time, Battery-Free Sensors
UC San Diego engineers' award-winning SenSync system turns conventional RFID technology into a reliable sensing platform without using wires or batteries or requiring calibration.
Toothbrush-Shaped Ultrasound Allows for Gum Monitoring
UC San Diego engineers have developed a toothbrush-shaped ultrasound transducer that can provide a less invasive screening for gum disease. In proof-of-concept demonstrations on animal tissues, the device produced measurements similar to those of a manual probe.
10-story Steel-framed Building to be Put to the Test on UC San Diego Earthquake Simulator
A 10-story cold-formed steel-framed building will soon be put to the test on an earthquake simulator at the University of California San Diego to see how well it can withstand earthquakes. The UC San Diego shake table is the only outdoor facility of its kind in the world, and the only simulator capa...
San Diego Researchers Land $1.5M to Study and Improve New AI Learning Tool
A team of researchers across San Diego County received a $1.5 million grant from the State of California to offer a better alternative to these chatbots. The team will deploy, assess and improve an innovative AI tutor system that originated at UC San Diego.
