Tools at the Nano- and Micro-Scales

Creating Nanoislands for Better Platinum Catalysts

The research team led by Professor Bruce Gates at the UC Davis Department of Chemical Engineering is interested in making platinum catalysts that are highly efficient and stable during chemical reactions.

Waves of the Future

In the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis, a one-of-a-kind hub for vacuum electronic devices allows a community of researchers to build upon the past to discover the future.

Dean’s Download: Discussing the Promise of AI

Dean Richard L. Corsi sits down with Professor of Computer Science Ian Davidson and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Chen-Nee Chuah to discuss the current and near-future roles of artificial intelligence and its real and anticipated implications for society.

A New Angle for Quantum

UC Davis researchers have demonstrated an angle etching method for fabricating quantum photonic devices at the wafer scale in silicon carbide. This development has brought within reach the reality of producing quantum nanodevices at scale and, thus, the development of the quantum internet.

The Cleanroom Where It Happens

The Center for Nano-MicroManufacturing supports leading-edge scalable research and development in electronics, materials and life sciences and is well-positioned to contribute to artificial intelligence hardware research and semiconductor workforce development efforts.

Breaking Down the Gut-Brain Divide

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, are taking the phrase “follow your gut” to a whole new level: They’re creating microfluidic technology that can map out and probe the neural pathways that form the gut-brain axis for the first time.
