San Diego Researchers Land $1.5M to Study and Improve New AI Learning Tool
A team of researchers across San Diego County received a $1.5 million grant from the State of California to offer a better alternative to these chatbots. The team will deploy, assess and improve an innovative AI tutor system that originated at UC San Diego.
Women’s Physical Activity Levels are Less Variable Than Men’s, Study Says
Women’s physical activity levels are less variable than men’s, according to a new study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. What’s more, women’s hormonal cycles did not have a noticeable impact on physical activity levels.
A Battery Breakthrough Inspired by a Can of Compressed Air
Breakthroughs often begin with simple curiosities. In this Q&A, engineering alumnus Cyrus Rustomji, Ph.D. ’15, reflects on how his ponderings about a can of compressed air, along with support from the university ecosystem and federal funding, fueled an innovation in battery technology that...
Breathing in Therapeutic Microrobots Treats Life-threatening Pneumonia in Mice
Engineers at the University of California San Diego found a new non-invasive way to deliver pneumonia-treating microrobots to the lungs: by making them breathable.
One Timed-release Capsule Could Replace Taking Multiple Pills
Managing complex medication schedules could soon become as simple as taking a single capsule each day. Engineers have developed a capsule that can be packed with multiple medications and release them at designated times throughout the day, potentially reducing the risk of missed doses or accidental ...
Using Bacteria as Living Test Tubes to Study Human Gene Mutations and Find New Drug Leads
Traditional methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at UC San Diego have developed a new simple approach to rapidly check on human gene changes and also screen chemicals as potential drugs by turning everyday bacteria into living test tubes.
