A new approach that uses light to switch the magnetic states of a material could lead to faster, smaller and more energy-efficient data storage.
Even a small error in the orientation of a telescope’s polarization detectors can produce a false reading of cosmic birefringence. Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a method to test the relative polarization-angle calibration of different detector sets providing a crucial calibration check.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry released a new public health consultation report using data from scientists at the University of California San Diego that analyzed environmental contamination in the Tijuana River Valley and evaluated hydrogen sulfide levels in outdoor air.
