The Computer Science and Engineering Department unveiled a new on-site data center that will accelerate computing and artificial intelligence research advances, while giving graduate students and other computer science researchers hands-on access to cutting-edge computing infrastructure.
In “The Meaning of Life,” Philosophy Professor Samuel Rickless asks students to undertake a month-long “experiment in living” by trying something personally novel. We spoke with three students about how the experience shaped their understanding of a meaningful life.
UC San Diego researchers have identified genetic drivers of cocaine addiction, uncovering a potential new treatment target in the liver. This large-scale study maps how metabolism influences addiction-like behavior to bridge the gap to human medicine.
Three graduating researchers are building AI tools designed to collaborate with musicians, not replace them.
UC San Diego computer science and mathematics professor Daniel M. Kane has been awarded the 2026 Gödel Prize, one of the highest honors in theoretical computer science.
Early biological systems that could generate guanosine‑triphosphate (GTP) from prebiotic chemicals would gain a crucial advantage toward self‑replication. Now researchers from the UC San Diego report a version of an RNA enzyme (ribozyme) that makes GTP synthesis more efficient than its predecessor.
