The conference focused on state-of-the art Devices and Systems, Nanoscale Phenomena, and Nanomanufacturing. Read more >>
"Connections III"
a meeting on Health Information and Communication Technology (HICT)
took place on August 11 in Berkeley. This was the third in a series of
workshops sponsored jointly by research groups in Denmark (the Alexandra Institute, Aarhus), Finland (Tampere University of Technology, Tampere), and the USA (Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Center for Health Care Research, Berkeley) to develop innovative new technologies.
To better understand and map the Pacific Ocean, CITRIS-affiliated
researcher Dr. Daniel P. Costa and his team have enlisted the help of
some very unusual research assistants. Together they're providing the
world with an unprecedented map of the mysterious deep.
A CITRIS-sponsored project is making a useful-but-costly tool for
predicting how the ground will respond during an earthquake smaller,
cheaper, and easier to use.
New designs for CITRIS’s future headquarters make it more efficient,
affordable, and flexible–and the new nanofabrication facilities aren’t
too shabby, either.
