Monitoring blood glucose without finger pricks using a personalized sweat sensor

A “wearable microgrid” harvests and stores energy from the human body to power small electronics.

Can plant viruses be used to keep plants healthy and ward off pests?

Imagine a technology that could target pesticides to treat specific spots deep within the soil, making them more effective at controlling infestations while limiting their toxicity to the environment. Researchers at the University of California San Diego and Case Western Reserve University have taken a step toward that goal. They discovered that a biological nanoparticle—a

A wearable patch could provide personalized cooling and heating instead of heating or cooling the whole room

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable patch that could provide personalized cooling and heating at home, work, or on the go. The soft, stretchy patch cools or warms a user’s skin to a comfortable temperature and keeps it there as the ambient temperature changes. It is powered by a

Another good step: A robotic gripper that can pick up and manipulate objects without needing to see them and needing to be trained

How many robots does it take to screw in a light bulb? The answer: just one, assuming you’re talking about a new robotic gripper developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego. The engineering team has designed and built a gripper that can pick up and manipulate objects without needing to see them

Computer scientists develop tool to make the Internet of Things safer

The tool leverages this technology to detect security-specific properties within a hardware system. For example, the tool can make sure that a cryptographic key does not leak outside a chip’s cryptographic core. Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a tool that allows hardware designers and system builders to test security-

Nanoengineers Develop Basis for Electronics That Stretch at the Molecular Level

“We are developing the design rules for a new generation of plastic–or, better, rubber–electronics for applications in energy, biomedical devices, wearable and conformable devices” Nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego are asking what might be possible if semiconductor materials were flexible and stretchable without sacrificing electronic function? Today’s flexible electronics are already enabling

UCSD students test fire 3D-printed metal rocket engine

This is the first such test of a printed liquid-fueled, metal rocket engine by any university in the world Like something out of a Robert Heinlein novel, students at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have built a metal rocket engine using a technique previously confined to NASA. Earlier this month, the UCSD chapter of
