Scientists urged to pull the plug on 'bathtub modeling' of flood risk
In a commentary article published in the journal Earth's Future, researchers at the University of California, Irvine … call on scientists to more accurately model these risks and caution against overly dramatized reporting of future risks in the news media. … "Bathtub models can both overpredict and underpredict flooding," said co-author Brett Sanders, UC Irvine Chancellor's Professor of civil & environmental engineering.

Scientists reveal how diabolical ironclad beetle can survive being run over by car
The study, led by engineers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and Purdue University, found the diabolical ironclad beetle’s remarkable durability is due to two armour-like adaptations in its exoskeleton which have evolved over millions of years. … A team led by UCI professor David Kisailus first tested the limits of the beetle’s exoskeleton and examined the various structural components by looking at CT scans.

Sustainable Aviation Hydrogen Powerplant Developer Hydroplane has Been Awarded a Prestigious Caltestbed Voucher from The California Energy Commission
Sustainable aviation hydrogen powerplant developer Hydroplane has been awarded a prestigious CalTestBed voucher from the California Energy Commission to conduct testing and accelerate commercialization of its revolutionary new electric propulsion system. … The award will permit Hydroplane to conduct ground-based commercialization studies at the National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFRC) at the University of California at Irvine. The team will assess performance of the fuel cell powerplant in conditions that simulate the flight environment – for example, changes in altitude and temperature.

Smart clothes could let you change your temperature with the touch of a button
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a material that could more easily adapt to temperature requirements; either trapping in or releasing heat as required? That’s exactly what researchers from the University of California, Irvine, have been developing. … “Essentially, the material can act like a regular space blanket, reflecting almost all heat back to the body,” Erica Leung, one of the researchers on the project, told Digital Trends.

Shrinky Dinks Inspire Respiration Monitor
“The current standard of care in respiration monitoring is a pulmonary function test that's often difficult to perform and limited in terms of the snapshot it provides of a patient's respiratory health—meaning problems can sometimes be missed,” Michael Chu, UCI graduate student researcher in biomedical engineering and lead author of the study, said in a statement. “Our new stretch sensors allow users to walk around and go about their lives while vital information on the health of their lungs is being collected.”
