UC Santa Cruz researchers develop scalable method for virus detection
Early diagnosis of infectious diseases can lead to accurate treatments and can prevent transmission and long-term complications. But to detect and identify an infectious disease is not easy. Disease-causing pathogens are normally present in low concentrations, requiring extremely sensitive devices... Read More
Braingeneer group publication explores neurological control of flexible robots
Santa Cruz, CA—Controlling a robot’s movement typically requires laborious programming. A team of UC Santa Cruz researchers in the Braingeneers group are applying a different approach, using a sophisticated simulation of a biological system to control a flexible robot. The results have been... Read More
