UCI-led NSF center will leverage industry partnerships to improve development of microfluidic devices
Thirteen industry partners gathered recently at UC Irvine’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering for the inaugural meeting of participants in a new National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center. The Center for Advanced Design & Manufacturing of Integrated Microfluidics will create design tools and manufacturing technologies for integrated microfluidics, also known as labs-on-a-chip. The tiny devices can be used for cost-effective, quick and easy diagnosis of problems in the environment, agriculture and human health.

Little black carbon reaches ocean floor, study finds
Just a fraction of the carbon that finds its way into Earth’s oceans–the black soot and charcoal residue of fires–stays there for thousands of years. A first-of-its-kind analysis by UC Irvine, Rice University and the University of Southern California also revealed how some black carbon breaks away and hitches a ride to the ocean floor on passing particles.
