Engineers have developed fentanyl test strips that are about 100 times more sensitive than current commercial versions. They achieved this feat by creating a new physics-based model that explains, for the first time, how these test strips work and how to systematically improve them.
Engineers have developed a new chip design that could make data centers more energy efficient by improving a critical task in electronics: converting high voltages into lower levels for use in processors.
We asked Aaron Rosengren, a faculty member in the UC San Diego Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and an expert on spacecraft orbits between Earth and its moon, to explain why San Diego was chosen as the end point of the Artemis II mission.
What happens when AI becomes part of how we learn? On campus, students and faculty are exploring new approaches — engaging with these tools and the ideas behind them.
A less-known threat can dramatic consequences for human civilization: a collision between a large asteroid and the moon. The debris from such a collision would damage satellites that underpin the infrastructure for everything from telecommunications, to defense, to navigation here on Earth.
From fundamental physics to practical devices, Abdoulaye Ndao is advancing new tools for imaging, sensing, data storage and memory.
