The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science has selected a geothermal energy project that brings together engineers from across the University of California, including UC San Diego, to use AI to discover and tap geothermal energy resources safely and economically.
A long-standing collaboration with the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego has helped provide the computing expertise and resources for the search for high-energy neutrinos from space, work recognized this week with the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics.
A new battery binder — the glue that holds together a battery’s internal parts — could simplify both battery manufacturing and recycling by cutting down on toxic ingredients, energy use and waste. Batteries made with the new binder performed just as well as conventional lithium-ion batteries.
Researchers developed a new way to make perovskite solar cells — a promising next-generation solar technology — more efficient and durable. Their crystallization technique produced more uniform perovskites with fewer defects, which boosted the performance of lab-made solar cells and LEDs.
InflammaSense’s wearable VITALx-patch sensor will monitor patients’ immune responses in real time as part of a federal initiative.
Two new studies led by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography reveal how underwater acoustic enrichment — the playback of sounds from healthy reefs — can help spur the recovery of degraded coral reefs and their fish communities.
