Microfabrication is gaining more importance than ever in the US. Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Erkin Şeker and his lab believe video games may be the answer for training the growing workforce.

Non-invasive implant surgery? Fixing a space shuttle from the outside in? Mohsen Habibi, a recent addition to mechanical and aerospace engineering, is on the cusp of making these a reality with his breakthrough discovery — printing with soundwaves.

A groundbreaking material — engineered bone marrow (eBM) — has the potential to improve treatment for osteosarcoma, a malignant bone cancer with low survival rates.

In a paper published last week by Physical Review Letters, Jean-Pierre Delplanque, a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the dean of graduate studies at the University of California, Davis, and a team of researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Sandia National Laboratories, have developed a scaling law to analyze the kinetics of high-pressure, rapid solidification of metastable liquids observed in national laboratory and academic experiments over the past few decades.

It’s a scorching summer morning at UC Davis, but inside a laboratory at Everson Hall, about 20 students are busy brewing hot cups of joe. They’ve just completed a competition to brew the perfect cup of coffee — and earned college credits at the same time.
