Our first Expedition in Computing (CNS-0832782) established the new field of computational sustainability, which aims to identify, formalize, and provide solutions to computational problems to help balance environmental, economic, and societal needs and thereby facilitate a path towards a sustainable future.

Quantum computing sits poised at the verge of a revolution. Quantum machines may soon be capable of performing calculations in chemistry, physics, and other fields that are extremely difficult or even impossible for today's computers. The multi-institutional Enabling Practical-scale Quantum Computing (EPiQC) Expedition will help bring the great potential of this new paradigm into reality by reducing the current gap between existing theoretical algorithms and practical quantum computing architectures.

Our Expeditions in Computing aimed to establish the foundations for molecular programming as a new discipline within computer science. The UCSF site has primarily focused on realizing demand-meeting applications of the DNA origami method, building new experimental methods and computer-aided design tools to aid in those efforts, and inspiring the next generation of young scientists to join our growing community and gain hands-on experience in the lab through an annual biomolecular design competition.

Our Expeditions in Computing aimed to establish the foundations for molecular programming as a new discipline within computer science. A molecular program is a collection of molecules that may perform a computation, fabricate an object, or control a system of molecular sensors and actuators.

To meet ever-increasing computing needs and overcome power density limitations, the computing industry has entered the era of parallelization, with tens to hundreds of computing cores integrated into a single processor and hundreds to thousands of computing servers connected in warehouse-scale data centers. However, such highly parallel, general-purpose computing systems still face serious challenges in terms of performance, energy, heat dissipation, space, and cost.
