Optical Device Uses Humidity to Unlock Hidden Information, Offers New Option for Data Storage

May 27, 2026

Engineers have developed an optical device that reveals hidden images and changes colors in response to different levels of humidity. The technology could lead to the development of new anti-counterfeiting labels, secure data storage, interactive displays and environmental sensors.

AI Model Links Tumor Mutations to Treatment Response

May 26, 2026

A new AI model developed by UC San Diego researchers could make it possible to predict treatment response based only on a tumor's genetics.

Wearable Ultrasound Patch Could Improve Care for High-Risk Pregnancies

May 26, 2026

Engineers created a soft, wearable ultrasound patch that can continuously monitor a fetus for hours at a time, even during constant movement. The technology could help doctors detect complications earlier in high-risk pregnancies and expand access to prenatal care in low-resource areas.

A Faster, Smarter Ground Station for Crowded Skies

May 13, 2026

UC San Diego engineers have designed a new kind of satellite ground station that replaces bulky dishes with coordinated small antenna panels.

UC San Diego Team Launches Free ‘Digital Twin’ for End-to-End Testing of Applications over Wireless

May 11, 2026

UC San Diego engineers created a free, open-source “digital twin” that simulates real-world wireless networks, giving researchers and startups a faster, more accessible way to test next-generation technologies.

National Foundations Advance Research at UC San Diego with Philanthropic Support

May 4, 2026

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the W. M. Keck Foundation each made separate awards with the goal of enabling UC San Diego researchers to continue their research in the face of today's uncertain funding landscape.

4 Ways UC San Diego Research Is Changing the Future of Health

April 30, 2026

What if a cancer diagnosis didn’t come with weeks of waiting? Or a mosquito bite couldn’t spread disease? Our researchers are rethinking how health works — long before illness begins.

Students Get an Intro to AI in First AI Major Class at UC San Diego

April 30, 2026

More than 100 undergraduate students enrolled in UC San Diego’s new artificial intelligence major took their first major-specific course, CSE 25: Intro to AI, over winter quarter. The class aims to introduce AI principles that the students will see repeatedly over the next four years.

Predicting Genetic Risk for Type 1 Diabetes Just Got More Accurate Thanks to UC San Diego Study

April 30, 2026

UC San Diego researchers have developed T1GRS, a machine‑learning model that accurately predicts genetic risk for Type 1 diabetes, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and more personalized treatment.

Stick-on Gel Offers New Way to Treat and Monitor Plants

April 28, 2026

A stick-on gel for plants could offer a simple, safe and targeted way to treat diseases and pests. It can be loaded with substances, such as medicines, and applied directly onto a plant to deliver those materials into its tissues. In tests, the gel was used to clear a plant's bacterial infection.
