New Model May Change Artificial Intelligence for Good

Artificial intelligence models can now build and train new models with minimal human intervention thanks to a collaborative project spearheaded by Silicon Valley-based startup Aizip and its co-founder Yubei Chen, an assistant professor at the University of California, Davis.

Addressing the Quantum Pipeline

According to researchers, alumni and students in the University of California, Davis, College of Engineering, it's a "sizzling" and an "exhilarating time" to be involved with quantum information sciences.

Silicon Sponge Could Lead to New Photodetectors

Photonics, which operate based on particles of light (photons), are increasingly important for applications such as optical communications, connections between electronic and optical networks, and imaging. But silicon, the go-to semiconductor for making electronic chips, is not a great material for photonic applications because it shows poor absorption of near-infrared light compared to other semiconductors such as gallium arsenide.
