A team of UC Davis scientists used dynamic total-body positron emission tomography (PET) to provide the first imaging of the human body's immune response to COVID-19 infection in recovering patients. Their work, published in Science Advances, could lead to a better understanding of how the body's immune system responds to viral infections and develops long-term protection against re-infection.
This summer, select UC Davis engineering students spent eight weeks working with novel technologies and research, developing high-demand, hands-on skills, and gaining insight into unexpected career paths.
As large language models like ChatGPT become more integrated into the human experience, Assistant Professor of Computer Science Muhao Chen wants to ensure that these tools are reliable, credible and protected.
Biomedical engineers at UC Davis have come up with a new tool for tracing interactions between proteins. The new, light-activated tool could have wide applications in cell biology.
Modeling computers after the human brain — coding in electrical impulses instead of ones and zeroes — promises advanced problem-solving skills and low energy consumption.
New Computer Science Assistant Professor Caleb Stanford aims to solve problems from the ground up, from mentoring undergraduates to developing programming languages that nip issues with data processing in the proverbial bud.
The new, UC Davis-developed sensor can detect vibrations a thousand times smaller and movement a hundred times smaller than a strand of human hair. It's also just a stepping stone to an even smaller, more powerful sensor.
At first glance, Orobanche ramosa looks like an interesting blossoming plant, one that could add a unique flair to flower arrangements. But it’s a parasitic weed that attaches to roots, sucks out nutrients and is threatening California’s lucrative $1.5 billion processing tomato industry.
We developed The Design of Coffee as a freshman seminar for 18 students in 2013, and, since then, the course has grown to over 2,000 general education students per year at the University of California, Davis.
