E.coli Can Detect Heavy Metal Contamination in Water
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have shown E.coli can do more than keep you sick in bed for days. In a new study, researchers demonstrated that the bacterium can detect heavy metal contamination in water. … “This new water monitoring method is highly sensitive, fast and versatile,” said co-author Regina Ragan, UCI professor of materials science and engineering. “It allowed the algorithms to determine if drinking water was within U.S.

Emerging technologies for tracking COVID-19 in higher ed
In a similar vein, University of California, Irvine researchers developed an open-source codebase for a QR code–based app called TrackCOVID, which alerts people if they’ve interacted with infected people. The QR codes will be posted in high-traffic areas, such as university campuses, grocery stores and public transportation hubs. “If you went to the same place as someone who was exposed within a certain time frame, you will be notified that you may have been exposed,” says Tyler Yasaka, co-developer of the app.

Environmental & Energy Systems
Treatment, distribution and collection of water and wastewater are energy intensive operations, and energy generation and distribution have direct and indirect impacts on environmental systems. This area addresses these interrelated challenges by focusing on the treatment and supply of water for municipal agricultural, energy, and environmental uses, sustainable practices for managing urban stormwater, and chemical and microbiological processes for water treatment. Additionally, novel approaches for energy generation and distribution are covered in this area.
