University of California, Irvine (UCI) scientists say a robust, low-cost imaging platform, utilizing lab-on-a-chip technology, and costing just a couple of hundred dollars, may be available for rapid coronavirus diagnostic and antibody testing throughout the United States by the end of the year. Using blood from a finger prick, the UCI test probes hundreds of antibody responses to 14 respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Results are available in two to four hours.
The 2020 For Women in Science fellows are being honored for their important research across a wide range of fields, from integrative biology to material science and engineering: … Wendy Brown, whose research in Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, focuses on growing cartilage from cells in anatomical shapes and sizes for surgical implantation. Her research seeks to help millions of people around the world with facial damage due to cancer, burns, congenital defects, or other physical trauma.
The UCI Samueli School of Engineering invites applications for a full-time Unit 18 faculty position to teach Academic English/ESL. The position is administered by UCI and the teaching will be at the Dalian University of Technology (DUT) in Dalian, China within the UCI-DUT Joint Program. Established by UCI and DUT, the UCI-DUT Joint Program in Mechanical Engineering includes students instructed by faculty from both universities.

L’Oréal USA revealed the 2020 recipients of its For Women in Science fellowship. The program, in its 17th incarnation, gives $60,000 research grants to five female postdoctoral scientists.
The new report noted the cyber-physical nature of biotechnology workflows has created new security risks, which the research community has mostly neglected. The researchers, including Philip Brisk, a UC Riverside associate professor of computer science, and UC Irvine electrical and computer engineering professor Mohammad Abdullah Al Faruque, recommend labs using DNA synthesizing machines institute security measures.
The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light that could be used to create strange materials called time crystals. … It could also help with more everyday applications, says Maxim Shcherbakov, [assistant professor, electrical engineering and computer science], at the University of California, Irvine.
A scenic and popular passenger train route between Irvine and Oceanside will fully resume service next week after months of emergency work in San Clemente to stabilize a hillside on one side of the railroad track and coastal erosion on the other side. … Brett Sanders, a civil and environmental engineering professor at UC Irvine, said climate change and human activity are starving beaches from sand supply, which is causing the coastal buffers to disappear and could impact railroad tracks along the coast.
Employing newly developed electron microscopy techniques, researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and other institutions have, for the first time, measured the spectra of phonons at individual crystalline faults, and they discovered the propagation of phonons near the flaws. “Point defects, dislocations, stacking faults and grain boundaries are often found in crystalline materials, and these defects can have a significant impact on a substance’s thermal conductivity and thermoelectric performance”, said senior co-author Xiaoqing Pan from UCI.

[Desiré] Whitmore then studied at the University of California, Irvine, where she earned a Masters of Science and a Ph.D. in chemical and material sciences. She then worked with some of the fastest lasers on earth during her post-doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley. … Now a Senior Physics Educator at the Exploratorium, an interactive museum of “Science, Art and Human Perception” in San Francisco, Whitmore designs learning experiences for the museum’s teacher institute.

According to Diran Apelian, [Distinguished Professor of materials science and engineering], head of the Advanced Casting Research Center based at the University of California, Irvine, five areas of focus are colliding in the present day of alloy development, each making an indelible imprint on its progress and capabilities. … “The big question isn’t so much alloy development, but it should be how do we recover and reuse these alloys at the end of life?
