Feature: Saving Iran's great salt lake
Some Iranian officials have tended to blame the weather – droughts and rising temperatures. But others concede that policy has had a major impact.

For Many, Hydrogen Is the Fuel of the Future. New Research Raises Doubts.
Jack Brouwer, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California, Irvine, said that hydrogen would ultimately need to be made using renewable energy to produce what the industry calls green hydrogen, which uses renewable energy to split water into its constituent parts, hydrogen and oxygen. That, he said, would eliminate the fossil and the methane leaks. [Subscription required, campus-wide access provided by UCI Libraries.

The Henry Samueli School of Engineering
Founded as the School of Engineering in 1965 with just three faculty members and 75 students declaring engineering majors; the school today serves more than 4,000 students (3,119 undergraduates and 898 graduates) enrolled in 12 undergraduate degree majors and 10 graduate degree programs. The school was renamed The Henry Samueli School of Engineering in 1999 after Samueli, co-founder, chairman and chief technical officer of Broadcom Inc., made a generous donation.
