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.

One student's research on red-tailed hawk wings takes flight in an unexpected way — to an industry animator who makes bird-like movements more real.

The UC Davis Center for Nano-MicroManufacturing is among two centers and two labs led by electrical and computer engineering faculty that are crucial to the $15M U.S. CHIPS and Science Act partnership to advance semiconductor technologies for AI.

Researching how bird flight can inform aircraft design is the goal of a new center to be established at the University of California, Davis.

The U.S. Department of Energy, or DOE, has selected a University of California, Davis, collaboration to receive $1.98 million in funding as one of 49 projects aimed at decarbonizing the industrial sector and moving the nation closer to a net-zero economy.

Jie Zheng, a new assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, studies the cognitive mechanisms the human brain uses to structure and store memories. Through a deeper understanding of these processes, Zheng hopes to improve medical interventions for cognitive disorders like dementia.

When Associate Professor Emilie Roncali was a project scientist in the Cherry Lab, she developed a field-defining simulation model for nuclear medicine. Now, she’s working to level up the model with generative AI.

A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends public health officials and other local and regional agencies take action to mitigate exposure to fine particulate matter indoors, prioritizing interventions among susceptible populations, including older adults, young children, and individuals with preexisting conditions.

The University of California, Davis, is leading the establishment of a new Integrative Center for Alternative Meat and Protein, or iCAMP. The center will work toward large-scale commercialization and technological advancement of alternative proteins, including cultivated meat (from animal cells grown in large fermentors), plant- and fungal-based foods, and innovative hybrids that combine conventional meat products with alternative proteins.

New research published in Physical Review Letters shows how an experiment with lasers and magnets resulted in the domain walls within ferromagnetic layers moving at previously unheard-of speeds, paving the way for more sustainable and energy-efficient data storage.
