Three UC San Diego Scientists Elected AAAS Fellows

Three University of California San Diego researchers have been elected 2024 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), one of the world’s largest general scientific organizations.

These Electronics-free Robots Can Walk Right Off the 3D-Printer

This robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Researchers from the University of California San Diego and BASF, describe how they developed the robot in an advance

Exploring the Impact of Generative AI on Education, Research and More

Better simulations to understand how viruses work. Better ways to model and predict climate change. Better robots that can navigate the real world. Researchers from all across UC San Diego and around the world converged on campus last week to explore the promise of generative AI.

Two UC San Diego Faculty Elected to National Academy of Inventors

Massimiliano Di Ventra and Lingyan Shi from the University of California San Diego have been elected senior members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) in recognition of their innovative work.

UC San Diego a Key Part of New Project Led by General Atomics to Advance Fusion Energy

The University of California San Diego is part of a new research partnership led by San Diego-based General Atomics that was recently awarded funding by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Momentum for Fusion Energy in California Continues at UC Workshop

Researchers from several campuses at the University of California and national labs, as well as companies focused on fusion, converged on the UC San Diego campus in early December.

Scaling up Neuromorphic Computing for More Efficient and Effective AI Everywhere and Anytime

Neuromorphic computing—a field that applies principles of neuroscience to computing systems to mimic the brain’s function and structure—needs to scale up if it is to effectively compete with current computing methods. In a review published Jan. 22 in the journal Nature, 23 researchers, including two from the University of California San Diego, present a detailed roadmap of what needs to happen to reach that goal.

Five UC San Diego Researchers Receive Presidential Early Career Awards

President Joseph R. Biden announced this week the recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), including five faculty members from the University of California San Diego. The PECASE is the highest honor bestowed by the United States government to scientists and engineers in the early stages of their independent research careers.

Solving Engineering Challenges to Make Fusion a Viable Clean Energy Source

The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century demonstrated for the first time that fusion can be a viable source of clean energy. But a whole host of engineering challenges must be addressed before fusion can be scaled up to become a safe, affordable source of virtually unlimited clean power. In other words, it’s engineering time.

This New Advanced Method Produces Highly Realistic Simulations of Fluid Dynamics

Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a groundbreaking method for generating highly realistic computer-generated images of fluid dynamics, in elements such as smoke.
