A UC San Diego engineering alumnus reflects on how a chance curiosity about a can of compressed air, along with support across campus, fueled an innovation in battery technology. … We also used neighboring labs at UC Irvine for their TEM [transmission electron microscope] characterization as well. [The UC Irvine Materials Research Institute is supported in part by the NSF.] So it wasn’t only at UC San Diego, but also the network within the UC system that really helped us along.
In 2020, a group of scientists from the United States described in PNAS a bacterium living within gypsum rocks that secreted a substance to dissolve the minerals around it, releasing individual water molecules sequestered inside the rock.
The continuing success of the Samueli School of Engineering is fueled by the involvement of influential alumni and friends who promote its visibility and help secure philanthropic support to advance its goals of unleashing innovation, creating opportunities and inspiring ingenuity. The school's growing alumni ranks are making significant contributions to society in the fields of technology, business, academia, government, military and social causes.
“The main issue is the snow drought everywhere in the entire West, including Arizona, Utah, California, Colorado,” said Amir AghaKouchak, a professor in UC Irvine’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. “When the snow is below average, it means low-flow situations in summer, drier soil moisture.
