Finger Wrap Uses Sweat To Provide Health Monitoring at Your Fingertips -- Literally
A sweat-powered wearable has the potential to make continuous, personalized health monitoring as effortless as wearing a Band-Aid. UC San Diego engineers have developed an electronic finger wrap that monitors vital chemical levels—such as glucose, vitamins, and even drugs—present in the ...
Closing the RNA Loop Holds Promise for More Stable, Effective RNA Therapies
New methods to shape RNA molecules into circles could lead to more effective and long-lasting therapies, shows a study by UC San Diego researchers. The advance holds promise for a range of diseases, offering a more enduring alternative to existing RNA therapies, which often suffer from short-lived e...
New Center Receives $18M from NSF to Develop Tools to Investigate the Pre-emergence Phase of Pandemics
A team led by UC Davis and including UC San Diego has launched a new center focused on detecting emerging pandemic threats. They will develop tools, such as advanced wireless sensors, to monitor infectious disease activity in natural hotspots to intercept these threats early. The center is supported...
Cybersecurity Flaws Could Derail High-profile Cycling Races
High-end bicycles used for high-profile road races such as the Tour de France are vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks targeting the bike’s wireless gear shifting system. The researchers are now working with Shimano, one of the leading bicycle component manufacturers, to patch the vulnerabiliti...
18 New Endowed Chairs Created at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering
