Newsletter: A look back at the week in Opinion
Southern California’s beaches are running out of sand. So we’re losing our majestic mountain forests and our beaches now? The difference with the disappearing sand is that so far, climate change isn’t the proximate cause, writes UC Irvine engineering professor Brett Sanders: “Local development and land use have altered natural processes that would have otherwise replenished the beaches. Sand on beaches is a lot like money in a bank account.

New Cancer Immunotherapy Technique Can Specifically Target Tumor Cells
Researchers at the University of California at Irvine have developed a new immunotherapy screening technique that will allow doctors to target tumors without the side effects of standard cancer drugs, giving specialists the opportunity to create individualized cancer treatments. The tracking and screening system identifies T-cell receptors with 100 percent specificity for individual tumors, according to Lab On A Chip.

New statistical mechanics formula suggests urban street networks and building density shape severity of floods
New research from the University of California, Irvine suggests that urban form, specifically the building density and street network of a neighborhood, is also affecting the intensity of flooding. … "Application of statistical mechanics has yielded an analytical model that can project neighborhood-scale flood hazards anywhere in the world," says Co-author Mohammad Javad Abdolhosseini Qomi, UC Irvine associate professor of civil and environmental engineering.

New UC Irvine Institute Focuses on Mobility and Connectivity
The future of the automotive industry involves autonomous, connected, zero-emission vehicles. To address the numerous issues and challenges associated with those technologies today, the University of California, Irvine (UCI) recently opened the Horiba Institute for Mobility and Connectivity2 (HIMaC2). The new organization is a part of the Advanced Power and Energy Program at UCI, which focuses on the future of mobility, and the integration of the energy and transportation sectors, including its impact on the electric grid.
