He cites innovation, expansion and partnerships as key to further enhancing campus’s excellence, impact and global preeminence
Squid are the ultimate camouflage artists, blending almost flawlessly into the background so that unsuspecting prey can’t detect them. Using a protein key to this process, UCI researchers have designed “invisibility stickers” that could one day help soldiers disguise themselves, even when sought by enemies with tough-to-fool infrared cameras. Assistant professor of chemical engineering & materials […]
