People with disabilities to get more access to UC Berkeley campus

The University of California, Berkeley, is working to make its campus more accessible to people with disabilities. The university has announced a new initiative that will include adding more ramps and curb cuts, installing accessible door openers, and providing more accessible transportation options. The initiative is part of the university's ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable campus for all students, staff, and visitors.

UC Berkeley researchers develop new way to detect early-stage Alzheimer's disease

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new way to detect early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The new method uses a combination of brain imaging and machine learning to identify subtle changes in the brain that are associated with the early stages of the disease. The researchers say that their new method is more accurate than current methods for detecting early-stage Alzheimer's disease, and they hope that it will lead to new treatments for the disease.

UC Berkeley scientists discover new type of quantum material

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have discovered a new type of quantum material. The new material is a topological insulator, which means that it conducts electricity on its surface but not in its interior. Topological insulators are a new class of materials that have the potential to revolutionize electronics and computing. The researchers say that their new material is the first topological insulator that is also a superconductor, which means that it can conduct electricity without any resistance. The discovery of this new material could lead to the development of new quantum devices.
