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.
Abigail Humphries is working on a National Institutes of Health-funded project to improve health outcomes of spina bifida at the University of California, Davis — where she was treated for the condition as a newborn over twenty years ago.
A UC Davis study analyzes roasting techniques to provide key insights into the acidity of coffee beans, paving the way for coffee roasters to better control the quality and flavor of their coffee.
Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Weijian Yang and his team have developed a new microscopy approach to capture high-speed images of brain cell activity with less harm to brain tissue than previous methods.
A team of UC Davis computer science students won the Education and Educational Tools Award at this year's Big Bang! Business Competition with CourseAssist AI, a customizable chatbot designed to support and retain students in STEM classes.
Initiated as part of the College of Engineering’s Next Level strategic vision for education, E-SEARCH pairs undergraduate engineering students with graduate researchers, aiming to equip students with the tools they will need for success in graduate school or careers in engineering.
