These MIT Researchers Have Developed Silk Capsules To Replace Microplastics

The researchers state that the new process can make use of the low-grade silk that is normally wasted because it has no applications. “This elegant and clever study describes a sustainable and biodegradable silk-based replacement for microplastic encapsulants, which are a pressing environmental challenge,” says Alon Gorodetsky, an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of California at Irvine, who was not associated with this research.

“The diabolical ironclad beetle is so strong, it can survive being run over by a car. Scientists and engineers have been studying what it can teach the rest of us. I’ve been speaking about that with professor David Kisailus, professor of materials science at the University of California, Irvine: ‘First of all the name, diabolical, gives you visions of something of horror, and ironclad makes you think this thing must be incredibly robust…’” [2:56:28 – 2:59:47] Listen Now

This week in science: squid fabric, a growing Everest, and the mystery of lightning

Squids and clothing that changes with the weather ….When squids move in a certain way, the stretching of their skin makes these chromatophores expand and contract, and this affects how light is reflected by or transmitted through it. This changes how the skin looks. … And materials scientists at UC Irvine decided to take a cue from this process. They created a material that can expand and contract. But instead of blocking or transmitting just light, this can trap and transfer heat. … Materials scientist Alon Gorodetsky, and his lab created this prototype.

The diabolical ironclad beetle can survive getting run over by a car. Scientists now know how.

"The ironclad is a terrestrial beetle, so it's not lightweight and fast but built more like a little tank," David Kisailus, the principal investigator and a materials science and engineering professor at the University of California, Irvine, said in a statement.

The diabolical ironclad beetle can survive getting run over by a car. Here's how

The diabolical ironclad beetle, which dwells in desert regions of western North America, has a distinctly hard-to-squish shape. “Unlike a stink beetle, or a Namibian beetle, which is more rounded … it’s low to the ground it’s flat on top,” says David Kisailus, a materials scientist at the University of California, Irvine. In compression experiments, Kisailus and colleagues found that the beetle could withstand around 39,000 times its own body weight. Read More

Telemedicine Comes of Age: Supporting a New Model of Care with Network Technology
Ten Minutes With: Port of Long Beach PM Director Tasha Higgins

[Tasha Higgins] earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1993 from the University of California, Irvine …. [She says:] "I began my career at the University of California, Irvine. ... During freshman orientation, we heard from civil, mechanical and electrical engineering professors. The civil engineering professor floored the entire room. He did this speech, “Have you ever been on [Interstate] 405 and traffic comes to a screeching halt, then in a couple minutes it opens up?” Everyone was like, “Yes!” “Do you want to know why it happens? Take my class to find out.” I changed my major that week.

This beetle can survive being run over by a car. could it lead to crash-proof human designs?

To understand how this exoskeleton works, the researchers first determined how much stress it could take. The answer? Quite a lot. The beetle can withstand a load of around 39,000 times its own body weight. … The Guardian explained. "We were impressed.
Titanium golf club blamed for Orange County brush fire

That isn't a surprise to James Earthman, a UC Irvine chemical engineering and materials science professor who did a study in 2014. ... "With stainless steel we never saw any sparks," Earthman said. "When we tested a titanium club, every time we hit a rock with a titanium there were a lot of sparks."
