Engineer breaks Guinness World Record
A UC Irvine engineer is breaking a Guinness World Record using a drone and an internet connection. Under the direction of Peter Burke, [professor of electrical engineering and computer science], a drone in Irvine, California, was remotely operated by a pilot 11,000 miles away on a French island in the Indian Ocean. This new technology can be used in a variety of applications from rescue missions and railway safety inspections to water, forest and land surveying. [Starts :52] Read More

Extended-Life Glucose Biosensor Array
Extended-Life Glucose Biosensor Array - an array of chips where each chip (roughly 1 inch by 1 inch) will be an extended-life glucose biosensor. In the NSF-sponsored research of Chancellor's Professor Marc Madou, Ph.D., researchers are working on an implantable biosensor for diabetic patients designed to work for six months or longer. Currently, commercial technology allows for only three to seven days of continuous operation of in-vivo glucose sensors.

Engineers invent wireless transceiver that rivals fiber-optic speed
"We call this technology a 'wireless fiber patch cord' because it offers the blistering speed of fiber optics without the physical cables," said Payam Heydari, NCIC Labs director, UC Irvine Chancellor's Professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and senior author of both papers.
