Construction materials such as concrete and plastic have the potential to lock away billions of tons of carbon dioxide, according to a new study by civil engineers and earth systems scientists at UC Davis and Stanford University.
This fall, UC Davis broke ground on a first-of-its-kind bird flight research center, which will allow students and researchers in the College of Engineering and School of Veterinary Medicine to study how birds fly to advance scientific understanding and aerial system design.
The UC Davis College of Engineering has established a new center focused on artificial intelligence, or AI. The UC Davis AI Center in Engineering will work to leverage AI for the betterment of humanity and the planet through advancements in foundational research, translational applications and educational efforts.
A new video series developed by experts at the UC Davis College of Engineering and California Department of Public Health aims to help building and facility managers better understand how to manage indoor air quality. Better indoor air quality can reduce the spread of airborne diseases such as COVID-19 and improve productivity in schools and workplaces.
In collaboration with materials company Homerun Resources, Inc., UC Davis engineering researchers have developed a one-step laser technique that purifies raw silica sand to over 99.99% silica. This is the first step in a multiphase project to create a clean-energy pathway to producing silicon.
Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm, also known as an arrhythmia. AFib is the most common type of heart arrhythmia and predisposes patients to an increased risk of stroke. It has a significant global impact — affecting nearly 40 million individuals worldwide and over 6 million in the United States.
Kittens and engineering may seem like an unsuitable pair, but a recent collaboration between a professor of veterinary medicine and the Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine Lab at UC Davis proves otherwise.
More than 5,500 College of Engineering alumni and friends contributed $131.55 million of the over $2.25 billion raised in UC Davis' historic Expect Greater: From UC Davis, for the World fundraising campaign.
The UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering is launching a new nine-month master's degree program in medical device development at Aggie Square, the expansive innovation district the university will open in Sacramento in 2025.
