Explaining Science Through Dance
Science & EnvironmentScience can be difficult to explain to the public. Explaining a theoretical science concept to high school students requires a new way of thinking altogether, which is precisely what researchers at UC San Diego did when they orchestrated a dance with high school students at Orange Glen High School in Escondido as a way to explain topological insulators. The experiment was led by former graduate student Matthew Du and UC San Diego Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Joel Yuen-Zhou.
U.S. Department of Energy Awards UC San Diego $1.35 Million for Fusion Research
Technology & EngineeringFusion researchers at the University of California San Diego received $1.35 million from DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. Known as a Creating Hardened And Durable fusion first Wall Incorporating Centralized Knowledge, or CHADWICK, award, the funds will allow researchers to open to teams outside of the university a facility that mimics the conditions occurring at the wall of a fusion reactor when it is running.
