A dynamic thermoregulatory material inspired by squid skin
[UCI Professor] Alon Gorodetsky and others write, “Effective thermal management is critical for the operation of many modern technologies, such as electronic circuits, smart clothing, and building environment control systems. By leveraging the static infrared-reflecting design of the space blanket and drawing inspiration from the dynamic color-changing ability of squid skin, we have developed a composite material with tunable thermoregulatory properties.”

A Radical Climate Proposal Aims to Channel Seawater Into a Giant Egyptian Desert to Fight Sea Level Rise
A new research grant is looking at the idea of reflooding lowland depressions to alleviate the problem on the coasts, starting with the Qattara Depression, a massive low-lying desert area in western Egypt. Amir AghaKouchak, a professor of environmental and civil engineering at the University of California, Irvine, who focuses on climate extremes and solutions, is carrying out the research under a grant from the ARC Initiative, a climate change fund of the U.S.-based nonprofit Renaissance Philanthropy. AghaKouchak’s work with ARC could be groundbreaking.

An Orange County coastal town grapples with losing its beach
The shoreline from San Clemente to Dana Point is a microcosm of what issues can arise when the beach disappears from a “beach town” – and how much is at stake for coastal communities when their sand disappears.

An experimental test may help confirm cases of chronic fatigue syndrome
Now, [Ron] Davis and other scientists at Stanford and the University of California, Irvine, have created a device that could make diagnosing ME/CFS much simpler. The research was published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Known as a “nanoneedle,” the new device picks up on certain changes in electrical signals to identify people with ME/CFS.

After decades of fighting and freeways, Orange County is finally getting a streetcar
“I think it took a long time to convince people in Orange County that there was a need for it, that there was room for it and that it’s worth the money and the investment,” Sarah Catz, [lecturer], a researcher in the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Irvine and a former OCTA board member, said of light rail.

Apodaca: Recognizing Orange County warriors in the fight against climate change
Take Brett Sanders, a professor of civil and environmental engineering. Sanders is an expert in water, specifically flooding and erosion. One of the projects his team at UCI has been working on is to develop new models to estimate how well infrastructure can withstand compounding hazards of successive fire and flooding events — crucial information given the increasing size and recurrence of such calamities.
