UC San Diego Researchers Develop Low-Cost, Scalable Passive Sensors
New research from UC San Diego proves that wireless, battery-free sensing is possible at low costs without any specialized equipment.
U.S. Department of Energy Awards UC San Diego $1.35 Million for Fusion Research
With $1.35 million from the US Department of Energy, fusion researchers at the Jacobs School will have funds to open an important fusion research facility to external teams. The facility mimics the conditions that occur at the wall of a fusion reactor when it is running. The DOE ARPA-E program fundi...
Wearable Ultrasound Tech for Muscle Monitoring Opens New Possibilities in Healthcare and Human-machine Interfaces
Engineers have developed a compact, wearable ultrasound device that monitors muscle activity. Attachable to the skin with an adhesive and powered by a small battery, the device wirelessly captures high-resolution images of muscle movements, enabling continuous, long-term monitoring. When worn o...
