By assessing how “sticky” tumor cells are, UC San Diego researchers have found a potential way to predict whether a patient’s early-stage breast cancer is likely to spread. The discovery could help doctors identify high-risk patients and tailor their treatments accordingly.
A team of scientists from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center have discovered that small-scale ocean processes can have a much larger influence on storm development than previously thought.
UC San Diego engineers have developed a new computational approach to accurately model and predict the properties of a class of magnetic molecules called chiral helimagnets. Their work could accelerate the discovery of new materials for spintronics technologies.
Three members of the UC San Diego community have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), which is one of the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer.
For decades, scientists have relied on electrodes and dyes to track the electrical activity of living cells. Now, UC San Diego engineers have discovered that quantum materials just a single atom thick can do the job with high speed and resolution—using only light.
Better simulations to understand how viruses work. Better ways to model and predict climate change. Better robots that can navigate the real world. Researchers from all across UC San Diego and around the world converged on campus last week to explore the promise of generative AI.
