A team of engineers led by [associate engineering professor] Alon Gorodetsky at the University of California, Irvine, has come up with a new infrared-reflecting, metalized polymer film inspired by the color-changing skin of the squid. The tunable insulating properties of the composite could make it useful in everything from coffee cups to shipping containers, plus its recyclable and can be manufactured economically at scale.

Cellecho Inc., an Irvine biotech company, is seeking funding for its cell therapy technology that aims to make immunotherapy more accessible and safer for cancer patients. … Cellecho’s alternative is a microchip-based technology that reprograms cells. Its treatment can be manufactured in one day, versus the two weeks it takes to develop the standard cell therapy drug.

So what does it take to be a female STEM leader? Dr Michelle Khine, biomedical engineering professor at the University of California, Irvine, and scientific co-founder of stem cell biotechnology company Novoheart, offers her insights.
Microgrids. Southern California Edison has shut off power to about 1,500 homes in the Southland today. It's a preemptive measure in case heavy winds knock over electricity transmission lines that could spark a wildfire. The move follows a controversial power shutoff in the Bay Area, and it's raising an important question: Isn't there a better way to produce and transmit electricity? Guest: Jack Brouwer, [associate professor, mechanical & aerospace engineering], University of California, Irvine. (Starts: 13:10)
Inspired by the way squid skin changes color, researchers have made a temperature-regulating material for coffee cups, takeout containers, grocery delivery bags, and shipping boxes. … “There is an enormous array of applications for this material,” said University of California, Irvine chemical and biomolecular engineering [associate] professor Alon Gorodetsky ….

The Advanced Casting Research Center has relocated to UC Irvine, effective July 1, moving from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. Diran Apelian, ACRC’s founding director, was recently appointed as distinguished professor at UCI’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. He retired earlier this summer from his position as Alcoa-Howmet professor of mechanical engineering at WPI after 30 years.
