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 is surprisingly useful to robotics experts
A study published December 9 in the journal Physical Review E details the similarities between the trajectory of sea urchin sperm and computer systems that use a type of real-time search approach called extremum seeking.

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.

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.

Scientists, lawmakers meet to discuss to region’s eroding beaches
Scientists, researchers, planners and lawmakers gathered at UC Irvine … to discuss ways to address the region’s chronic coastal erosion issues. The discussion was led by a team of scientists from the Samueli School of Engineering …. Beaches are not just environmental indicators for matters such as sea level rise and climate change, but also economic engines and a rich part of the state’s heritage, said Samueli School of Engineering Dean Magnus Egerstedt.

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.
