Squid skin-inspired cup cozy will keep your hands cool and your coffee hot
Drawing inspiration from cephalopod skin, engineers at the University of California, Irvine invented an adaptive composite material that can insulate beverage cups, restaurant to-go bags, parcel boxes and even shipping containers. The innovation is an infrared-reflecting metallized polymer film developed in the laboratory of Alon Gorodetsky, UCI associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering.

Study reveals new ways microbes might help humans build colonies on Moon, Mars
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have been motivated to consider new ways that microbes can assist humans in colonising the Moon and Mars by studying the biochemical process by which cyanobacteria absorb nutrients from rocks in Chile's Atacama Desert. … Corresponding author David Kisailus, UCI professor of materials science and engineering [said], "Could humans use a similar biochemical approach to obtain and manipulate the minerals that we find valuable?

Soft Bioelectronic Sensor Implant Can Monitor Signals in the Developing Brain
“Advanced electronics have been in development for several decades now, so there is a large repository of available circuit designs. The problem is that most of these transistor and amplifier technologies are not compatible with our physiology,” said co-author Dion Khodagholy, Henry Samueli Faculty Excellence Professor in UC Irvine’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Summer forecast calls for intensifying drought across American West
In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of California, Irvine, claim that greenhouse gas emissions and aerosol pollution are directly tied to increases in the frequency and severity of droughts. "There has always been natural variability in drought events around the world, but our research shows the clear human influence on drying, specifically from anthropogenic aerosols, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gase

Squid skin inspires material that keeps stuff hot (or cool)
Taking inspiration from squid skin, researchers have invented an adaptive composite material that can insulate beverage cups, restaurant to-go bags, parcel boxes, and even shipping containers. … “The metal islands in our composite material are next to one another when the material is relaxed and become separated when the material is stretched, allowing for control of the reflection and transmission of infrared light or heat dissipation,” says Alon Gorodetsky, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Irvine.

Southern California coastal towns are losing valuable sand, putting some beaches at risk
If solutions aren’t swift, the Southern California coast — and the economy it supports — will surely suffer. “If we have no sand, it’s like a car and we’ve taken the engine out of it,” said UC Irvine civil engineering professor Brett Sanders, a leading expert on coastal erosion. … UCI grad student Daniel Kahl recently analyzed satellite imagery — a project possible with a

Soft bioelectronic sensor implant conforms to body's tissues, allowing brain monitoring through development
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine … have embedded transistors in a soft, conformable material to create a biocompatible sensor implant that monitors neurological functions through successive phases of a patient's development. …"We demonstrated our ability to create robust, complementary, integrated circuits that are capable of high-quality acquisition and processing of biological signals," said Khodagholy, head of the UC Irvine Translational Neuroelectronics Laboratory.
