Quantum Properties in Atom-thick Semiconductors Offer New Way to Detect Electrical Signals in Cells
For decades, scientists have relied on electrodes and dyes to track the electrical activity of living cells. Now, UC San Diego engineers have discovered that quantum materials just a single atom thick can do the job—using only light. Full Story
Boosting Visible Light Detectability of In-ga-zn-o Phototransistor with Additional Absorption Layer
Recently, oxide semiconductors have become promising alternatives to Si-based semiconductors due to their outstanding properties such as high transparency, possibility of large area fabrication, low leakage current, and low process temperature. Based on these advantages, oxide semiconductors have been used in a variety of applications from the display area to solar cells and sensors.

A Leap in Time: Learning and Reasoning with Videos
The field of computer vision has been completely transformed by the success of deep Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets). State-of-the-art deep models have led to large advancements in visual tasks such as object detection and segmentation. One key ingredient behind this success is a large amount of human supervision for training ConvNets. However, can we really annotate every task we want to solve? As computer vision works towards more difficult and structured AI tasks, it becomes more challenging for humans to provide training supervision.

Wave-front Sensing and Shaping Techniques and Their Applications in Nanotechnology and Biology
In this talk, we will present the applications of inverse scattering principles with digital holography [1-5]. First, I will present the holotomography – a 3D quantitative phase imagign techniques for label-free imaging of cells and tissues [2]. As an optical analogous to X-ray computed tomography, holotomography reconstructs 3D refractive index tomography of unlabelled cells, from multiple 2D holographic images obtained with various illumination angles.

Grid Resiliency Against Wild Fires
The students of the Power Grid Resiliency for Adverse Conditions Course would like to cordially invite you to a seminar by San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). The 2018 wildfire season was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season on record in California, with a total of about one thousand fires burning an area of about two million acres, the largest amount of burned acreage recorded in a fire season. The fires have caused more than $3.5 billion in damages and destructed homes, businesses and infrastructures, including power transmission and distribution lines.
