Quantum metamaterials are one of the two research themes of the UC San Diego Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC), which is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Quantum metamaterials are a cutting-edge subset of metamaterials.
Many of today’s electronic devices are built on thin-film substrates where the thin film is electronically conductive and the substrate is inert. Or is it? New research from UC San Diego shows that substrates are not inert after all.
Scientists use E. coli TGT as a primary model to understand how TGT works in other bacteria, but have struggled to visualize its atomic structure. UC San Diego biochemistry professor Neal Devaraj’s lab has captured the first cryo-EM visualizations of E. coli TGT structure.
AI is being positioned as a replacement for mathematicians, able to solve longstanding open problems in a fraction of the time it would take a human. The Leiden Declaration calls on AI corporations and practitioners to act responsibly to ensure the continuance of mathematics as a discipline.
A new XPS machine at the UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute is helping researchers advance work in battery technology, surface coatings and medical devices.
Researchers from UC San Diego theorize that if light travels through a material trapped in a microresonator there is an opportunity for rare quantum electrodynamical events to occur. These events leave material “fingerprints” on the photons that are not present in simple linear optics phenomena.
