Engineers have developed a neuroinspired hardware-software co-design approach that could make neural network training more energy-efficient and faster. Their work could one day make it possible to train neural networks on low-power devices such as smartphones, laptops and embedded devices.
Moderate to severe loneliness can persist across adult lifespans, but UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers found it is particularly acute in three age periods: late-20s, mid-50s and late-80s. Wisdom proved a protective factor.
After living with debilitating phantom leg pain for 18 years, Raul Silva is excited about a new dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation device that erased his pain during a testing phase at UC San Diego Health, one of the only health care providers in the region offering the device.
UC San Diego's Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla and Professor Susan Taylor were named fellows of the National Academy of Inventors. They are part of the NAI’s 2018 cohort of 148 new fellows who have demonstrated a prolific spirit of innovation.
UC San Diego scientists have been granted $2 million to develop new methods for manufacturing products based on algae. Biologist Stephen Mayfield will lead efforts to develop novel platforms to produce biologically based monomers that will be used to manufacture renewable and biodegradable products.
Since coding is fun to freshman Yuan Gao, creating his first word cloud from the Facebook page of Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute at UC San Diego was basically entertainment. He created the montage-style graphic for a pass-fail elective class. Still -- how many people can hand-make a cloud?
