Using total-body PET imaging to get a better understanding of long COVID disease is the goal of a new project at the University of California, Davis, in collaboration with UC San Francisco. The project is funded by a grant of $3.2 million over four years from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health.
A new UC Davis-led study reveals that GenAI browser assistants collect and share sensitive data without users’ knowledge, calling for stronger safeguards, transparency and awareness to protect user privacy online.
Engineering researchers and Proteus Space are shaking up satellite design with the first-ever real-time dynamic digital twin in orbit. The AI-enabled payload, designed in the HRVIP Lab, will model and predict spacecraft health on the fly, redefining the future of spaceflight.
UC Davis chemical engineering Ph.D. student Rajat Goel is using supercomputing and quantum chemistry to study how hydrogen binds to uranium oxide — a step toward safer nuclear waste storage. His work could help make next-gen nuclear energy cleaner and more reliable.
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.
Biomedical engineers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a fast and cost-effective microscopy system capable of imaging depths previously impossible to reach in scattering tissues, such as bone and the brain.
UC Davis engineering researcher Cristina Davis and UC Davis Health scientists used breath analysis to uncover how smoking, vaping and marijuana affect lung inflammation. Their findings reveal unique biological markers for each substance, offering a noninvasive tool to monitor airway health.
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.
UC Davis engineers are investigating new ways to feed a growing population, from fungus-grown jerky to cultivated beef and sustainable systems for wine and coffee.
