Carbon Flower Nano-Electrodes
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.

Chang Liu Brings Synthetic Biology Expertise to UCI
Chang Liu was hired as an assistant professor in BME in January by the Center for Complex Biological Systems. Professor Liu received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry with highest honors, summa cum laude at Harvard University, and his doctorate in chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute. He was most recently a Miller Fellow at the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science at UC Berkeley. -
Cost of solar panels in California
Robert Flores, [senior scientist in the Advanced Power & Energy Program], a solar expert at the University of California, Irvine, said it’s smart to upgrade any old appliances before going solar. … Monocrystalline panels are generally considered the “best bang for your buck,” according to Flores. … Aso consider space … “The worst place would be to install on north-facing roofs, especially if those roofs have a high pitch.” For example, if the only place you can install is a north-facing roof with a 30-degree pitch, your cost of going solar will increase by 30% to 40%.

Crush-resistant exoskeleton allows the diabolical ironclad beetle to survive being run over by a CAR
[UCI] scientists analysed the beetle's elytron – a hardened set of forewings that protect the more delicate hindwings underneath – to learn more about the miraculous material. … Using advanced microscopy, spectroscopy and mechanical testing, the authors observed a series of interlocked jigsaw-shaped joints at the middle of the elytra.

Can't crush this: Tough beetle that can survive Camry rolling over shell gives scientists new ideas
The beetle study is part of an $8 million project funded by the U.S. Air Force to explore how the biology of creatures such as mantis shrimp and bighorn sheep could help develop impact-resistant materials. “We’re trying to go beyond what nature has done,” said study co-author David Kisailus, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of California, Irvine.

Crystal Cove Conservancy finishes out 2022 with about $200,000 raised in end-of-year campaign
Over the next year, the Crystal Cove Conservancy plans on collaborating with the UC Irvine Samueli School of Engineering for a kindergarten-to-college engineering program. “Over the next year, we’ll work together with our colleagues at UCI to develop curriculum goals, learning outcomes, and research partnerships, plus testing and piloting a program for at least one grade level,” [Kate] Wheeler said.
