Local vibrational modes measured at individual crystalline faults
Employing newly developed electron microscopy techniques, researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and other institutions have, for the first time, measured the spectra of phonons at individual crystalline faults, and they discovered the propagation of phonons near the flaws. “Point defects, dislocations, stacking faults and grain boundaries are often found in crystalline materials, and these defects can have a significant impact on a substance’s thermal conductivity and thermoelectric performance”, said senior co-author Xiaoqing Pan from UCI.

Lab instruments may be leaking patient data, study finds
The new report noted the cyber-physical nature of biotechnology workflows has created new security risks, which the research community has mostly neglected. The researchers, including Philip Brisk, a UC Riverside associate professor of computer science, and UC Irvine electrical and computer engineering professor Mohammad Abdullah Al Faruque, recommend labs using DNA synthesizing machines institute security measures.

Landslide fears mount in Orange County communities built on hillsides as heavy rain is expected
Orange County communities built on hillsides are preparing for a powerful winter storm to move through Southern California. The moisture could trigger landslides …. "You can imagine soil gets muddy, and it's much easier for one layer on top of the other to slide off a slope," civil engineering professor at UC Irvine Anne Lemnitzer said. Watch More
