Authoritarian regimes exert control over the internet through transit networks that operate largely out of public view, according to a recent study by researchers in the U.S. and Germany. The work, published in PNAS Nexus, also shows how more sophisticated authoritarian regimes extend their influence by providing network access in poorer but politically similar countries.
Biomedical engineering doctoral student Greg Wheeler explores how an emerging MRI technique can identify conditions like dementia earlier than ever before.
As artificial intelligence gains momentum, University of California researchers are identifying discrimination in the algorithms that are shaping our society, devising solutions, and helping build a future where computers do us less harm and more good.
Dovin Kiernan, a recent graduate from the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group at the University of California, Davis, explores biomechanics and wearable technology to reduce the high rates of overuse injuries in running.
Researchers at the UC Davis Coffee Center in the College of Engineering, through a partnership with cloud service provider Fabscale, have engineered a new way to analyze coffee for quality control, at a low cost. Their new photo-based app Roastpic is launching on April 12 to give anyone with a smartphone a better picture of the quality of their coffee beans.
When it comes to innovating within applied electromagnetics, Assistant Professor William "Billy" Putnam has found that the best way to move forward is to look toward the past.
UC Davis researchers have developed a new catheter-based device that combines two powerful optical techniques to image the dangerous plaques that can build up inside the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
As machine learning and artificial intelligence become more involved with decision-making, Professor Ian Davidson is on a quest to integrate fairness into human-AI systems.
The Ahn Lab in the Department of Chemical Engineering is pioneering groundbreaking tools for new research that could lead to more effective pain therapies.
Assistant Professor of Computer Science Maike Sonnewald weighs in on gaining information from a recent onslaught of storms to provide intel on climate change and make long-range weather forecasts.
