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

How a Y Chromosome Gene May Shape the Course of Heart Valve Disease

UC San Diego bioengineers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease—aortic valve stenosis—progresses differently in males and females. The research paves the way for treatments that can be tailored to a patient's biological sex.
