Mystery behind how coated nanodiamonds form finally solved
Applying metal oxides like titanium and zinc could lead to innovative quantum sensing and biological labeling developments. “Nanodiamonds are incredible microtools with immediate applications,” explained Karen Lopez, a biomedical engineering Ph.D. student at the University of California, Irvine, who, like the other SJSU authors, worked on the study as an undergraduate. “Now that we understand how the silica shell forms, we can begin optimizing it and expanding to other materials," she added.

Meet the diabolical ironclad beetle. It’s almost uncrushable
In 2015, Jesus Rivera filmed a very unusual science experiment for posterity. On the asphalt of a sun-soaked parking lot, he placed a mottled black beetle on a pillow of dirt and had a colleague run it over with a Toyota Camry. Twice. Just about any other bug would have died. This one, a species called Phloeodes diabolicus, did not. … “That would jellify a human,” said David Kisailus, an engineer at the University of California, Irvine, who mentored Dr. Rivera’s work.

Mega Cities Poised to Become the Hottest and Most Dangerous Places Under Climate Change
A team of researchers from the University of California, Irvine analyzed data from 9,000 weather stations around the world and determined the global temperature has increased by 0.19 degrees Celsius each decade for the last 50 years. They also noted that the increase was even more pronounced in the last 30 years — a 0.25 degree-increase each between 1986 and 2015.
