UC San Diego materials science and engineering Ph.D. student Liya Bi won the grand prize at the 43rd annual Jacobs School of Engineering Research Expo for his work studying how molecules organize themselves into ordered patterns on metal surfaces, which could transform how microchips are made.
A joint team of computer scientists from UC San Diego and Purdue University took an in-depth look at how well CPUs can coordinate valuable computational work with incoming requests and proposed a practical method to carry out parallel tasks with speed and efficiency.
Krstic joins world leaders in their research fields as a Fellow-Ambassador with France’s national research organization.
Managing complex medication schedules could soon become as simple as taking a single capsule each day. UC San Diego engineers have developed a capsule that can be packed with multiple medications and release them at designated times throughout the day.
Traditional methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at UC San Diego have developed a new simple approach to rapidly check on human gene changes and also screen chemicals as potential drugs by turning everyday bacteria into living test tubes.
A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function that triggers a pathway that disrupts how cells in the brain turn genes on and off.
