At UC Davis, a new bladesmithing club is forging more than knives. Led by materials science and engineering major Aaron Diamond, the team is (literally) sharpening hands-on skills and crafting connections.
Working with a team of researchers at the University of Michigan, the computer science undergraduate will survey her engineering peers to learn more about their mental health to help drive the national conversation about wellness in engineering.
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Yayoi Takamura joins a multi-campus, national lab collaboration to advance microelectronics using antiferromagnetic spintronics. Backed by a $4 million UC grant, the project explores energy-efficient memory and computing technologies that could revolutionize next-generation devices
Meet the Materials Science Advantage Chapter, the UC Davis engineering club responsible for Picnic Day’s famous Materials Magic Show — and for bringing attention to the amazing things materials science makes possible.
Come all to S.E.M.'s magic show to see wondrous feats that perplex the mind and make one believe in magic! That is, unless MASC has something to say about it.
Shows at 11:00am, 12:00pm, 1:00pm (each show is around 20-30 minutes)
Khaira Lecture Hall (previously Science Lecture Hall)
As climate change becomes an evermore concerning issue, researchers are working to make carbon capture and storage technologies more accessible, stable and environmentally friendly. See how a team of students is taking on the challenge one cubic foot at a time.
Professor Yayoi Takamura and her group participated in experiments that show applied voltages can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials, which could lead to energy-efficient methods for controlling magnetism in spintronic devices.
The professor of materials science and engineering has been recognized for her contributions to the field of optics and photonics, specifically in transient photonics and optical properties of metal alloys.
SPIE, an international society that brings academics and business professionals together to advance light-based science and technology, has elected Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Marina Leite as fellows.
Arden Stratton, an undergraduate student at UC Davis, shifted gears from chemistry to materials science and engineering after discovering a passion for materials research. Now, she's steering toward success in conducting alloy research and driving a Unitrans bus.
