Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by linking the natural warmth around us to the cold depths of space. The invention could be used, for example, to ventilate greenhouses or other buildings.
UC Davis researchers have created a miniaturized microscope for real-time, high-resolution imaging of brain activity in mice. The device is a significant step toward revolutionizing how neuroscientists study behavior and perception in the brain.
As researchers continue to shrink the size of mechanical devices, controlling the Casimir force has become the first priority. At UC Davis, Calum Shelden, a Ph.D. candidate in electrical and computer engineering, is beginning groundbreaking experimentation to test the theories.
Each year, nearly 1 million people worldwide are diagnosed with head and neck cancer, with many losing their ability to speak intelligibly due to treatment. UC Davis researchers are working to restore their lost voices with adaptive technology.
In the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis, a one-of-a-kind hub for vacuum electronic devices allows a community of researchers to build upon the past to discover the future.
The associate professor spoke with BioPhotonics about a two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed neural activity developed by his team.
UC Davis researchers have demonstrated an angle etching method for fabricating quantum photonic devices at the wafer scale in silicon carbide. This development has brought within reach the reality of producing quantum nanodevices at scale and, thus, the development of the quantum internet.
The University of California, Davis will be part of a new, $285 million nationwide institute dedicated to advancing research and manufacturing of American semiconductors.
Jeong is one of 12 early-career faculty members who will receive a boost as this year's class of Hellman Fellows at UC Davis. The fellowship includes funding that will directly support Jeong's research into autonomous seizure management.
Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and his lab have demonstrated a method for controlling the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical effect that draws small objects toward each other. The force can be so strong as to tear components inside a device apart.
