Opinion Space, launched on the Department of State’s main website on March 15, is an analysis and visualization tool that employs dimensionality reduction algorithms to depict thousands of opinions on several issues in one simple, two-dimensional animated illustration.
Dear Friends of CITRIS: We talk to our machines a lot these days, from voice-recognition smartphones and cars to computerized operators that make …
John P. Holdren, speaking at the UC Berkeley Energy and Resources Group – The 17th Annual Lecture on Energy and the Environment, presented "Science and Technology for Sustainable Well-Being." John Holdren is Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President of the United States, Assistant to the President of Science and Technology.
California is highly dependent on groundwater to satisfy fresh water demands, but supplies are increasingly stressed and groundwater in many basins is overdrafted, leading to resource degradation and loss of storage. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is strategy by which excess surface water is infiltrated into the ground in natural or engineered structures, often as part of a broader effort to conjunctively manage and enhance linked surface water and groundwater resources.
After an intense competition, a UC Berkeley team located on the 7th floor of the CITRIS Headquarters Building was awarded with a PR2 robot. The team, led by Pieter Abbeel, will continue developing open source code for robotics.
There has been some debate regarding whether we are currently experiencing a nuclear energy renaissance. There are currently 10 contracts to build the Westinghouse AP1000: 4 in China and 6 in the US.
As electronic devices become smaller in volume and more specialized in functionality, a paradigm shift in energy storage design and manufacture is beginning to emerge and can be realized with the development of simple, low-cost, solutions-based processing methods to incorporate custom energy buffers directly onto a device.
Sutardja Dai Hall, the headquarters building for CITRIS at UC Berkeley, has only been open for one year and has already won several awards.
Marilyn Walker’s research focuses on natural language processing, computer games, and the human-computer interaction.
One of the most pervasive technologies in the world –especially for the developing communities– comes in the form of mobile communication devices and associated services.
