Liezel Labios

University of California - San Diego

UC San Diego nanoengineers developed a separator that could make lithium metal batteries fail safely so that they do not rapidly overheat, catch fire or explode.

Keep Batteries from Catching Fire

It's a clever tweak to the battery's separator.

This is a digital model of a blood vessel network.

3D Print Blood Vessel Networks

The lifelike, functional blood vessel network could pave the way toward artificial organs.

This is the designed semiconductor-free microelectronic device.

Semiconductor-Free Microelectronics

Engineers use metamaterials to build a microscale device with a 1,000 percent increase in conductivity.

Pedestrian detection system was developed in the Statistical Visual Computing Lab at UC San Diego.

Pedestrian Detection Becomes Faster, More Accurate

What if computers could recognize objects as well as the human brain could?
