Solving the Moving Sofa Problem

Korean mathematician Jineon Baek may have come up with a proof for a long-standing problem: What is the largest object that can fit around a corner of a certain size? UC Davis mathematician Dan Romik has worked on the moving sofa problem and has a web page dedicated to it.

More Than Lighting

As society explores alternative and renewable energy sources, the California Lighting Technology Center aims to be a guiding beacon, showcasing through research and design the best ways to integrate efficient and human-centric energy systems into new and existing infrastructure.

Evidence of a New Type of Superconductor

A research team has found the strongest evidence yet of a novel type of superconducting material, a fundamental science breakthrough that may open the door to coaxing superconductivity — the flow of electric current without a loss of energy — in a new way.
