Engineers have developed a battery-free electronic sticker that attaches to everyday objects like a drinking cup and monitors vitamin C levels from a person’s fingertip sweat. The technology could make personal nutrition monitoring as effortless as holding a cup of coffee.
Engineers have developed a new design strategy for metal alloy negative electrodes that could significantly improve the performance and durability of next-generation solid-state batteries. The work could help advance the path toward practical, high-performance energy storage for electric vehicles.
Molecules — the unseen architects that form everything from the DNA in your cells to the planets in distant galaxies, crafting the very fabric of reality while remaining too small for the human eye to glimpse. But thanks to the Protein Data Bank we can now “see” these hidden wonders.
How much do undergraduate computer science students trust chatbots powered by large language models like GitHub CoPilot and ChatGPT? And how should computer science educators modify their teaching based on these levels of trust?
Scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have described a new way to produce large amounts of xanthommatin, a natural pigment used in animal camouflage, in a bacterium for the first time. This breakthrough unlocks a promising pathway for designing nature-inspired materials.
In a first-of-its-kind test, engineers at UC San Diego are experimenting with large, mobile batteries to both charge electric construction vehicles, and also support a more resilient electric grid.
