The Celebratory Gesture That Is Said to Kill More People Annually Than Sharks
We humans, generally speaking, are rather hardy creatures. We may not have the great bulk of the elephant, the tough skin of the crocodile, or the formidable exoskeleton of the diabolical ironclad beetle, but we're rather resilient as a species. Incidentally, the latter, according to UCI professor David Kisailus (via Phys.org), is "a terrestrial beetle ... a little tank ...

Turning trash to electricity in Orange County
In 2021, the agency said the landfill in Irvine produced about 154,000 megawatt hours of energy and the landfill in Brea produced about 210,000 megawatt hours, for about a combined total amount of energy to provide electricity to about 50,000 homes. You’ll hear from the executive director of the agency and [Vincent McDonell, adjunct] professor from the University of California, Irvine who is an expert in energy systems about what he thinks about the trash-to-energy system.

The art is alive at UC Irvine exhibit
The new exhibit at UC Irvine's Beall Center for Art + Technology is a place where art has come to life – literally. … "This was the first time that our lab has worked with artists," said Elliot Hui, a UCI associate professor who worked with Domnitch and Gelfand in the Hui Lab for biological microtechnology. "Art can definitely help communicate scientific concepts, but in a more beautiful and relatable way."

Transparent human cells turn a classic sci-fi story into reality
Alon Gorodetsky is the paper’s lead author and an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at UC Irvine. He tells Inverse that his goal is to eventually use this technology to make HUMAN SKIN TRANSPARENT too, which could have implications for cosmetic surgery or cell imaging. But also just because it’s cool. … “Our engineered human cells work almost the same way, as far as we can tell, as the natural leucophore cells in squid skin,” he says.

The waters are rising, the floods are coming. What are we doing to save ourselves?
At the University of California, Irvine, environmental engineering professor Brett Sanders and his team are building computer models that show both historic flooding and areas at risk because of climate change, to give residents access to as much information as is available. He hopes to make the program more widely available as they get more funding.

The horrors of TMJ: Chronic pain, metal jaws, and futile treatments
Kyriacos Athanasiou, a biomedical engineering professor at the University of California, Irvine, said it was because TMJ disorders are more prevalent among women that they were historically dismissed as neither serious nor complex, slowing research into the cause and treatment. The resulting dearth of knowledge, which is glaring when compared with other joints, has been "a huge disservice" to patients, Athanasiou said.

The next extreme floods could be even worse, a new study shows. But there's a way to prevent that
Amir AghaKouchak, a co-author, [professor] and civil engineer at the University of California, Irvine, told CNN that many parts of the country — including the St. Louis area and eastern Kentucky — are particularly vulnerable and need to make a lot of improvements to adapt to the rapidly changing climate. "In the US, in many of our cases, we are seeing that more extreme events are happening, which is an important factor that we need to consider," AghaKouchak said.
