Corn Stalks. It’s What’s for Dinner … If You’re a Microbe.
Engineers have developed a strain of a common bacterial species that can feed exclusively on the three major sugars present in corn stalks. While the new multiple-sugar-consuming strain of the bacteria Pseudomonas putida is interesting in its own right, a new paper published in Nature...
With ARPA-H Award, UC San Diego Engineers will Develop a Soft, Autonomous Robot for Stroke Care
A research team led by engineers at UC San Diego was awarded up to $22.9M from ARPA-H to develop a soft, flexible robot that can safely and autonomously navigate through the tiny blood vessels of the brain and remove blood clots, expanding access to a life-saving stroke procedure.
NSF Funds Major Center at UC San Diego to Make New Quantum Materials
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded University of California San Diego researchers a six-year $18M grant to fund a Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) focused on making new kinds of quantum materials.
Sweat-Powered Fingertip Patch Accurately Monitors Parkinson’s Medication
A wearable fingertip patch could improve personalized care for people living with Parkinson’s disease by continuously tracking levels of Parkinson's medication through their sweat. The device operates using chemicals in this sweat — no batteries required. Its meas...
New Wearable Ring Tracks Glucose, Ketone and Other Biomarkers in Sweat Simultaneously
Engineers created a smart ring that simultaneously and continuously monitors up to four different chemical biomarkers — a combination of glucose, ketones, vitamin C, uric acid, lactate or alcohol — from finger sweat. The technology could aid in diabetes management, nutrition tracking and...
2 Million Cars with Anti-Theft Systems Installed by Dealers are at Higher Risk of Theft
At least 2.2 million cars on the road today are vulnerable to an attack that allows thieves to lock and unlock doors and immobilize vehicle engines remotely via a Bluetooth connection, computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have found.
