Researchers discover atomic-level mechanism in polycrystalline materials
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and other international institutions have for the first time achieved atomic-scale observations of grain rotation in polycrystalline materials. … Scientists have speculated and theorized…for decades…We have been able to transition from theory to observation," said senior author Xiaoqing Pan, UC Irvine Distinguished Professor of materials science and engineering and UC IMRI director.

Rainfall Totals: 1+ Inch of Rain in Parts of San Diego County Not Enough to Pull From Drought, Expert Says
UC Irvine professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering Amir AghaKouchak said while the rainfall was significant, it is not likely enough to pull the region out of drought. … “It's better than last year, but we will remain under drought situation this year, at least that's how it looks like. … From an ecosystem perspective, wildfires around us are increasing over the years and drought is a major contributor," AghaKouchak said.

Research team develops insulating material inspired by skin cells of squid
Engineers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) have developed a composite material that mimics the expansion and contraction of chromatophores on the skin of squid that control infrared light and heat transmission, which it claims can be cost-effectively scaled for insulating applications such as beverage cups.

Robots: Now coming to a workplace near you
"The easiest, most repetitive and routine tasks are the most likely to be automated," said Pramod Khargoneker, a future of work expert who is vice chancellor for research at the University of California at Irvine. "Robots have a harder time doing physical work in an environment that is unruly or unpredictable."

Research recommends extending California's prescribed burning season
"California's wildfires have been getting worse every year in recent decades, owing to factors such as climate change and a century-long fire deficit coupled with a buildup of vegetation and fuels," said study leader Tirtha Banerjee, UCI assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering.
