Shruti Agarwal and her thesis advisor Hany Farid, an incoming professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and in the School of Information at UC Berkeley, are racing to develop digital forensics tools that can unmask “deepfakes,” hyper-realistic AI-generated videos of people doing or saying things they never did or said. Their technique, which Agarwal presented at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition conference, could be used to help journalists, policy makers, and the public stay one step ahead of bogus videos of political or economic leaders that could be used to swing an election, destabilize a financial market, or even incite civil unrest and violence.

For the past 16 years, Jim Breen, the highly-skilled artisan, has created glass apparatuses and other vessels for Berkeley researchers not just those in chemistry, but in engineering, earth and planetary science, physics and other fields. Breen, who's blown glass for about 40 years, is one of a dwindling number of scientific glassblowers in the United States. Fifty years ago, the American Scientific Glassblowers Society had roughly 1,000 members; for the past 25 years, the numbers circled 500. But Breen says only about 50 work at colleges or universities.

If the sight of a skittering bug makes you squirm, you may want to look away a new insect-sized robot created by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, can scurry across the floor at nearly the speed of a darting cockroach. Small-scale robots like these could be advantageous in search and rescue missions, squeezing and squishing into places where dogs or humans can't fit, or where it may be too dangerous for them to go, said Yichuan Wu, first author of the paper, who completed the work as a graduate student in mechanical engineering at UC Berkeley through the Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute partnership Series: "UC Berkeley News" [Show ID: 35134]

A new 3-D printing technique shines light rays onto this yellow liquid, creating solid, 3-D objects. The syrupy liquid is light sensitive and hardens when exposed to a certain amount of light. Nicknamed the Replicator, the printer custom-makes objects like a model of a jaw, a mini-screwdriver, or even The Thinker. Series: "UC Berkeley News" [Show ID: 35129]

A team of engineers at UC Berkeley and the Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) of The Claremont Colleges combined CRISPR with electronic transistors made from graphene to create a new hand-held device that can detect specific genetic mutations in a matter of minutes. The device, dubbed CRISPR-Chip, could be used to rapidly diagnose genetic diseases or to evaluate the accuracy of gene-editing techniques. The team used the device to identify genetic mutations in DNA samples from Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. Series: "UC Berkeley News" [Show ID: 35130]

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, first unveiled Salto’s high-flying capabilities in 2016. Now, they’ve equipped the robot with a slew of new skills, giving it the ability to bounce in place like a pogo stick and jump through obstacle courses like an agility dog. Salto can even take short jaunts around campus, powered by a radio controller. Series: "UC Berkeley News" [Show ID: 35131]

Tabby's star has provoked so much excitement, with speculation that it hosts a highly advanced civilization capable of building orbiting megastructures to capture the star's energy, that UC Berkeley's Breakthrough Listen project is devoting hours of time on the Green Bank radio telescope to see if they can detect any signals from intelligent extraterrestrials.

Dajanaye Sheri Adrow-Hubbard is graduating from UC Berkeley, May, 2016. She has been raising her 4 year old son, Marius, while attending Berkeley, having enrolled immediately after high school. She and Marius will be moving to Texas after graduation, where Dajanaye will start her career as a teacher with Teach for America, hoping to one day become a school principal.

Why do geysers erupt? Loops in their plumbing. Volcanologist Michael Manga and his students have studied geysers in Chile and Yellowstone National Park, threading sensors and cameras into the boiling water, and have come up with an explanation for why geysers erupt periodically. They’ve even built a laboratory geyser that erupts every 20 minutes. The key: the loops and bends in their plumbing. Series: "UC Berkeley News" [Show ID: 30061]

Hundreds of Berkeley's international students showed up at Memorial Stadium Saturday for a training camp especially designed for them: "American Football 101." The one-hour Student Orientation event, hosted by the Berkeley International Office and Cal Athletics, offered the students instruction and practice in football drills led by Golden Bear players. The one-hour training is intended as a fun way to familiarize students with a sport that most of them have had little or no exposure to, growing up in foreign countries. Saturday's practice drills included punting, passing, receiving, blocking, sprinting, goal-kicking, and a lot of positive reinforcement from the player "coaches."

New research led by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that the shape of some animals' pupils could reveal whether one is hunter or hunted. An analysis of 214 species of land animals shows that a creature's ecological niche is a strong predictor of pupil shape. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be ambush predators that are active both day and night. In contrast, those with horizontally elongated pupils are extremely likely to be plant-eating prey species with eyes on the sides of their heads. The study, led by vision scientist Martin Banks, UC Berkeley professor of optometry, in collaboration with the United Kingdom's Durham University, presents a new hypothesis as to why pupils are shaped and oriented the way they are.
