Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a temperature sensor that runs on only 113 picowatts of power — 628 times lower power than the state of the art and about 10 billion times smaller than a watt. This “near-zero-power” temperature sensor could extend the battery…

Bending laser light around sharp turns and corners—without scattering—is now possible thanks to a new laser cavity developed by electrical engineers at UC San Diego. This is the first laser cavity that can fully confine and propagate light in any shape imaginable: triangle, square, loop with jagged edges. The work…

…materials such as novel semiconductors, new catalysts, neuromorphic materials and complex molecules. For instance, drug discovery uses DFT as a fast and efficient method to limit the number of drugs that must be experimentally tested for their efficacy in the treatment of many diseases. Thanks to DFT, the time and…
