Cephalopods’ invisibility powers could someday be ours, now that we know how to control them
Now scientists at UC Irvine have finally figured out the structure of reflectins at a molecular level and are able to manipulate them — almost like magic.

Civil and Environmental Engineering provides innovative solutions at the interface of the natural and the built environment for the benefit of society. As such, education and research addresses the efficient design, maintenance and sustainability of infrastructure while preserving and sustaining natural, social, and economic resources.
Teams of college students from around the world have spent the past year working to design and construct model homes that promote energy-efficient living in California.
The Graduate and Professional Studies' mission is to serve current and prospective graduate students within The Samueli School of Engineering. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions that you have regarding graduate study, graduate policies and procedures, general counseling questions, etc.
Carbon Flower Nano-Electrodes - the nano-patterned high surface area electrode fabricated out of RF (resorcinol formaldehyde) gel precursor. Researchers in the laboratory of Chancellor's Professor Marc Madou, Ph.D., use these fractal electrodes to create efficient micro biofuel cells that contributes to the creation of sustainable energy sources.
But it will take several seasons at 120% to 200% the normal rain and snowfall to eliminate drought in the West, according to experts. A tough feat, considering the anthropogenic -- or human-induced -- warming many states in the West, including California and Nevada, are experiencing, Amir AghaKouchak, a professor at the University of California, Irvine who specializes in hydrological extremes and drought monitoring, told ABC News. Drought has "many dimensions," and climate change is expected to alter the relationship between drought and flooding in the West, AghaKouchak said.
