The research would support the development of electronic materials that could not only be implanted into the body for medical applications such as wound healing, but that could also be safely resorbed into the body.]]> http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/08/23/nsf-efri-grant-for-berkeley-bioflex/feed/ 0 http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/05/01/simons-institute-for-the-theory-of-computing/ http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/05/01/simons-institute-for-the-theory-of-computing/#comments Tue, 01 May 2012 12:00:11 +0000 Sarah Yang http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/?p=27377 The Simons Foundation has awarded a landmark $60 million grant to UC Berkeley to establish a theory of computing institute that promises to catalyze new advances in broad disciplines that affect our everyday lives, from how we spend our money to how we fight disease. ]]> http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/05/01/simons-institute-for-the-theory-of-computing/feed/ 0 http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/news/penn-lead-10-million-project-computer-assisted-programming http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/news/penn-lead-10-million-project-computer-assisted-programming#comments Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:39:45 +0000 Sarah Yang http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/?p=27960 UC Berkeley engineers, led by computer scientist Ras Bodik, will join the University of Pennsylvania and seven other research institutions in a project to make computer programming faster, easier and more intuitive. Dubbed ExCAPE, the project is led by Penn and funded by a five-year, $10 million grant from the National Science Foundation's Expeditions in Computing program. ]]> http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/news/penn-lead-10-million-project-computer-assisted-programming/feed/ 0 http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/06/01/bosch-grants-10-million-for-energy-research/ http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/06/01/bosch-grants-10-million-for-energy-research/#comments Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:31:55 +0000 Roibín Ó hÉochaidh http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/?p=12330 UC Berkeley will be one of five leading universities to launch Bosch Group's new $10 million energy initiative, designed to promote research and education in the United States.]]> http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/06/01/bosch-grants-10-million-for-energy-research/feed/ 0 http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/04/07/bay-area-pv-consortium/ http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/04/07/bay-area-pv-consortium/#comments Fri, 08 Apr 2011 00:00:43 +0000 Sarah Yang http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/?p=8993 The effort to make sun power more affordable has gotten a big boost with a $25 million, five-year Department of Energy grant announced this week.
