UC San Diego Professor of Physics Olga Dudko has been named a 2022 Simons Investigator, one of the most prestigious awards for a theoretical research scientist. Dudko is a theoretical physicist whose work seeks to establish unifying physical principles in biology.
Researchers developed lithium-ion batteries that perform well at freezing cold and scorching hot temperatures, while packing a lot of energy. This could help electric cars travel farther on a single charge in the cold and reduce the need for cooling systems for the cars' batteries in hot climates.
Scientists have developed a CRISPR-based technology that could offer a safer approach to correcting genetic defects. The new “soft” CRISPR system makes use of natural DNA repair machinery, providing a foundation for novel gene therapy strategies with the potential to cure genetic diseases.
UC San Diego researchers have created a mathematical model to help predict risk of anal cancer in persons with HIV infection and aid patients and doctors regarding screening decisions.
A new collaborative project involving UC San Diego aims to leverage the capabilities of multi-petawatt lasers to demonstrate efficient generation of dense gamma-ray beams.
With remote and hybrid work becoming a new norm, managers and employers around the world are presented with new challenges. However, for two faculty at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy and Strategy, Joshua Graff Zivinand Elizabeth Lyons, it also presents an opportunity to adapt to a new era th
