UC Berkeley’s department of electrical engineering and computer sciences, or EECS, announced May 19 that it will no longer consider the Graduate Record Examination, or GRE, in graduate admissions.

Researchers from UC Berkeley, among other institutions, have found that magnetic data stored on computer chips could be switched quickly, opening up opportunities for future computer chip memory.

Caring father, friend, colleague, engineer and UC Berkeley professor emeritus Richard “Dick” White died Aug. 14 at the age of 90 in his home on Panoramic Hill. He will be remembered for his drive to help others through invention, his care for the world around him and his ingenuity.

A team of researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has developed a method for chemically producing two-dimensional transistors and circuits that may aid in the development of more advanced computers.

Magnetic chips are an attractive way to combat energy loss in power-hungry electronic devices, electrifying the future direction of computational processing, according to recent study by campus researchers.

Strips of carbon synthesized by UC Berkeley professors to be nearly 10,000 times thinner than the width of a human hair could accelerate the transportation of data at unprecedented speeds, with far-reaching implications into the fields of technology and medicine.

At its conception, the federal sequester – a mandate that slashed billions of dollars to crucial federal programs – was never supposed to happen.

UC Berkeley College of Engineering Dean S. Shankar Sastry will join a new United Nations Scientific Advisory Board that will provide counsel on international decisions on sustainable development.
