Los Angeles sets dramatic new goals for electric cars and clean buildings
Some researchers agree with SoCalGas that substituting cleaner fuels for gas would be easier and cheaper than swapping out gas for electricity. They include Jack Brouwer, a UC Irvine engineering professor, who has led a project to inject small amounts of hydrogen into the university’s gas pipelines. “Our policy goals cannot be met without hydrogen, is my view,” Brouwer said in an interview last month.

Leave the wallet at home, soon you may be able to pay with a swipe of the sleeve
UC Irvine researchers detailed how they developed a flexible textile that allows clothing to communicate with nearby devices. … “This means you could potentially keep your phone in your pocket, and just by brushing your body against other textiles or readers, power and information can be transferred to and from your device.” said co-author Peter Tseng, UCI assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science.

Latest tech news and top tech stories
Engineers at the University of California, Irvine have invented an end-to-end transmitter-receiver silicon chip that is capable of processing digital signals with significantly greater speed and energy efficiency because of its unique digital-analog architecture. The new wireless transceiver boosts radio frequencies into 100-gigahertz territory, quadruple the speed of the upcoming 5G, or fifth-generation, wireless communications standard.

Large-Scale Green Hydrogen Infrastructure System Unveiled for California
Jack Brouwer, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), noted that SoCalGas has worked with the university and others for nearly a decade to make the hydrogen economy a reality. Efforts included “helping us build the very first power-to-gas-to-power system in the country right here on the UCI campus,” Brouwer said. “The Angeles Link is a great example of what can be done when government, industry, and academia work together toward a common purpose,” he said.

Lake Powell’s drought is part of a growing threat to hydropower everywhere
When hydroelectric power isn’t reliable, people typically turn to fossil fuels, says Brian Tarroja, an energy researcher at the University of California, Irvine. “You do want to build new assets, more renewable energy, more storage, more flexibility and all that stuff,” he says. … That could mean plants that work with lower amounts of water. Even more crucial, he says, is making sure that other renewable energy sources are built up as well. Otherwise, shortcomings in hydropower will continue to mean sliding back into fossil fuel use.

Life on the rocks
A report authored by scientists from Johns Hopkins University; the University of California, Irvine; and the University of California, Riverside; was published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Findings show how life can flourish in places without much water—including Mars, which has an environment similar to the Atacama—and how people living in arid regions may someday be able to procure hydration from available minerals.
