Rules of the School
Scientists have developed a new understanding of how fish interact as they school in groups. Fish were found to copy their neighbors to align their movements within schools. The discovery opens a door to examining how the brains of individuals interact to produce group-level collective behavior.
UC San Diego to Test Innovative Power Technology for AI Data Centers
The San Diego Supercomputer Center will serve as the testing ground for a new $8.48 million project that could transform how AI data centers receive and manage electricity while helping prevent them from overwhelming California's power grid.
UC San Diego Study Finds Changes to California’s Landscapes May Influence Valley Fever Risk
UC San Diego study links higher Valley fever rates to some natural landscapes and agricultural land uses, raising concerns as drought and water regulations lead to more farmland being left uncultivated across the state.
Researchers Use AI to Decode Key DNA Sequence in Gene Activation
Scientists have revealed the DNA identity of the “initiator,” a crucial sequence that kickstarts gene activation. AI analysis of a half million data points deciphered the initiator’s identity. Researchers can use the new information to scan for mutations that may lead to diseases such as cancer.
UC San Diego Receives Department of Energy Genesis Mission Award to Fund New Scientific AI Tools
University of California San Diego researchers will lead one of the Department of Energy’s new Genesis Mission projects focused on accelerating fundamental physics and quantum computing by deploying intelligent AI agents.
