Engineers at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab have taken the latest step toward making that happen, by developing a thin, pliable, plastic material called “e-skin”, that is interactive like a touchscreen, but more flexible than the rigid glass or silicon currently used in smartphones and computers.

A study published last week by a group of four researchers, two of which were from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, showed that admissions officers and hiring managers are prone to correspondence bias—ignoring situational context and judging applicants on the same criteria despite differing circumstances.

A new application developed by UC Berkeley researchers will harness mobile phones — thousands of mini-computers that often lie idle — to be used in tandem as the equivalent of a multimillion-dollar supercomputer. Read More…
The Earth looked like a speck in the universe — a tiny pixel in vast space — in a photo taken from the perspective of a lens hovering 898 million miles away. Read More…
A new study conducted by UC Berkeley and Harvard researchers found that the chances of low-income children rising to higher income brackets as adults varies significantly across different metropolitan areas within the U.S., with the San Francisco Bay Area among the most upwardly mobile regions.

The U.S. LHC Accelerator Program (LARP) succeeded in the testing of a new superconducting high-field quadrupole magnet, known as HQ02a last week in an international project which the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory contributed to. Read More…
Scientists at UC Berkeley and at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published research last Wednesday, which shows that a deficiency in vitamin D can accelerate premature bone aging by increasing the risk of fracture. Read More…
Cutting-edge technology products developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) received eight of the 2013 R&D 100 Awards on Monday. Read More…
A recent study by UC Berkeley biologists suggest that the electrostatically charged insects attract spider webs when they are close, making it easier to be snared by the web. Read More…
UC Berkeley visiting scholar Ozzie Zehner published an article Sunday arguing that electric vehicles are not as environmentally-friendly as often believed. Read More…
