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

Exploring the Impact of Generative AI on Education, Research and More
Better simulations to understand how viruses work. Better ways to model and predict climate change. Better robots that can navigate the real world. Researchers from all across the University of California San Diego and around the world converged on campus last week to explore the promise of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Full Story

The Incredible Loudness of Whispering
In a vision shared by innovators, entrepreneurs, and planners in both defense and civilian contexts, the skies of the future will be busy with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Unseen but central to the realization of this vision is wireless communication within and between those future fleets of UAVs that is reliable and resistant to both unintentional and ill-willed interference. “If these UAVs can’t communicate, they don’t take off or they don’t operate the way we want them to,” said Josh Conway, a program manager in DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office.
Nanophotonic Architectures for Nanoscale Light Control
Seminar Speaker
Ganapathi (Ganesh) Subramania
Nanophotonic architectures such as photonic crystals and metamaterials have become key players in modern photonics. They offer hitherto unprecedented capabilities combined with great versatility to control various properties of light -propagation, polarization, emission and photon statistics. They have become increasingly important for chipscale photonics. In this talk, I will present research carried out along with my colleagues in this area using photonic crystals and metamaterials at Sandia.
