A New Angle for Quantum

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.

Hyoyoung Jeong Named a 2024 Hellman Fellow

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.

Advancing Alzheimer Research with AI

Professor Chen-Nee Chuah leads AI/ML efforts within a multidisciplinary team that has received a $6 million grant from the National Institute on Aging to deepen the understanding of the neuropathologic landscape of Alzheimer’s disease, focusing on individuals who identify as Hispanic/Latino.

Thermoradiative Photovoltaics

Researchers in the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offer insights on devices that operate like solar cells in reverse and can generate power even in the absence of sunlight, offering an alternative route for energy production.

New Microscope Offers Faster, High-Resolution Brain Imaging

Researchers at UC Davis have developed a new microscope to capture high-speed images of brain cell activity with less harm to brain tissue. The new approach could be used in research with mice to provide a clearer view of how neurons communicate in real time, leading to new insights into brain function and neurological diseases.
