San Clemente hopes to add 250,000 cubic yards of sand to beaches
Brett Sanders, a University of Irvine professor of civil and environmental engineering, walked on the other end of the project recently at Linda Lane. He noted that the city’s project is a good start. "But it’s only one piece of the puzzle," he added. "What we need to be thinking about is the entire Southern California coastline from San Diego up to Santa Barbara and thinking about how we restore natural supplies to the coast.” … "So the question is, what is the long term plan? And we’re going to need more projects like this," he said.

Should we be expecting El Niño to blow us away with rain?
Amir AghaKouchak, UC Irvine hydrologist, engineer and climatologist, is an expert in such matters. He says it's too soon to tell. But he does admit that the signs so far are pointing in the direction of a strong El Niño winter and spring.

Scientists Mixed Squid DNA With Human Cells to Control Their Transparency in 'Revolutionary' Study
Scientists have changed the degree of transparency of human cells in a laboratory, according to a study. It is hoped the technique, inspired by see-through sea creatures, will help us gain a deeper understanding of our biological processes. … To conduct the study, Alon Gorodetsky of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues genetically engineered human cells—which are relatively transparent—to express reflectin.

Scientists Use Human Urine To Make Dental And Bone Implants
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, collaborated with US and Japanese institutions to make a synthetic yeast system that converts urine into hydroxyapatite (HAp) - the main structural component of tooth enamel and bone mineral, which provides hardness. Notably, this biocompatible calcium phosphate mineral is widely used in bone and dental implants, archaeological restoration and biodegradable materials. Read More

Student Groups
Engineering students may join any number of student organizations. Most of these organizations are professionally oriented, and in many instances, are local chapters of national engineering societies. A primary function of these groups is to provide regular technical and social meetings for students with common interests. Most of the groups also participate in the annual Engineering Week activities and in other School functions.

Shrinky Dinks Inspire Wearable That Predicts Oncoming Asthma Attacks
When UCI biomedical engineers went to work on creating a sensor for the device, they decided to use Shrinky Drinks. "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," said Michael Chu, UCI graduate student researcher in biomedical engineering and lead author of a paper on the innovation published today in npj Digital Medicine.

Study: A third of world's major aquifers threatened
In two new studies, a team of researchers led by hydrologists from the University of California, Irvine assessed the depletion of groundwater on a global scale using readings from NASA satellites. ... "If we continue to use groundwater the way it's being used, then there's a high chance that it could be depleted to the point that we can no longer use it in my lifetime in certain areas," said Alexandra Richey, the lead author of the studies.

Scientists Give Human Cells Squid-Like Active Camouflage
However, the researchers at the University of California, Irvine, weren’t looking to transfer this superpower into just any material. Instead, they wanted to figure out how to make the human cell invisible — and they did.

Sea Urchin Sperm Follow Their Noses
Now Mahmoud Abdelgalil, [a mechanical & aerospace engineering graduate student] at the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues have discovered an unexpected synergy between established sperm navigation models and concepts from control theory. They developed a robust navigation model that relies on a single parameter: the local concentration gradient of the chemical the sperm cells track. The team says that their model could be used to describe the motion of other organisms that move in response to chemical gradients.

Scientists unlock the light-bending secrets of squid skin
Alon Gorodetsky, an expert in chemical and biomolecular engineering at UC Irvine, is the senior author of the research. … “This study is an exciting demonstration of the power of coupling basic and applied research,” Gorodetsky said. “We have likely just started to scratch the surface of what is possible for cephalopod-inspired tunable optical materials in our laboratory.” Read More
