Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.
Engineers have developed a new chip design that could make data centers more energy efficient by improving a critical task in electronics: converting high voltages into lower levels for use in processors.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography and San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance have announced a research partnership through the Agile Restoration & Conservation Hubs initiative. This joint effort will harness advanced digital technology and biobanking techniques to boost conservation impact.
