UC Davis EcoCAR reached new milestones at this year's challenge, earning top awards for energy efficiency and design. From high-speed tests to teamwork under pressure, communications manager Riddhi Puranik shares how the team proved they're ready to accelerate into Year 4.
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.
Mohsen Habibi has developed a groundbreaking 3D printing technique that uses holographic soundwaves to create structures in seconds from behind a physical barrier. This cutting-edge technique could revolutionize bioprinting, bringing science fiction closer to reality.
Renewable energy sources like wind and solar need a storage system capable of charging and discharging to relieve the power grid. Instead of building new infrastructure, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering imagines a system built from half-used EV batteries.
The annual UC Davis event, hosted by the Biomedical Engineering Society and the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab, allows undergraduates to apply their engineering skills and receive hands-on experience in product design and prototyping.
A collaboration between UC Davis Health and the Translating Engineering Advances to Engineering, or TEAM, Lab is simplifying a rare, complex surgery through three-dimensional printed models to help surgical teams plan and prepare.
Erik Contreras, a UC Davis mechanical engineering graduate student, paused their degree to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in Design. In this Q&A, Contreras discusses their interdisciplinary journey, creative hacking and their work on autonomous vehicles.
Professor of Chemical Engineering Adam Moulé and his lab have developed a novel method of patterning semiconducting polymers, a notoriously difficult material, using existing tools, paving the way for endless possibilities for sensors and optics.
