Having experience trekking literal and metaphorical hills, biomedical engineering graduate student Abigail Humphries explains how being in nature via hiking and endurance competitions has nurtured her research.
UC Davis researchers model the future of lithium supplies and find battery recycling could dramatically reduce the need for new mines. The team calls for smarter policies and faster action to make EV adoption greener, cleaner and more resilient.
Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering Simon Cherry's career spans more than three decades. His work has centered around understanding human health and disease as well as pursuing novel ways to develop faster and more sensitive imaging technologies that may benefit patients all over the world.
UC Davis civil and environmental engineering researchers have contributed to a new economic analysis that shows the high cost of inaction on California's perpetual water supply challenges. "We've done the math — and the costs of inaction are high economically and environmentally," says Professor Jay Lund.
UC Davis Ph.D. student Declan Kopper is using high-temperature optical simulations to unlock materials for more efficient photovoltaic energy conversion. His research lights the way for thermophotovoltaic innovation.
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.
A UC Davis team is combining muscle bulge and electrical signals to make prosthetic hands smarter and more natural. With 97% gesture accuracy, their EMG-FMG fusion could be a game-changer for prosthetics, robotics and virtual reality control.
Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a fast and cost-effective microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain.
UC Davis engineering researcher Cristina Davis and UC Davis Health scientists used breath analysis to uncover how smoking, vaping and marijuana affect lung inflammation. Their findings reveal unique biological markers for each substance, offering a noninvasive tool to monitor airway health.
Dateline UC Davis sat down with Tech Foundry Director Steven Lucero about the development facility’s focus and how a second location at Aggie Square will open new possibilities.
