A team of researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, together with UC Riverside mechanical engineering professor Monica Martinez, performed experiments that showed bubbles last the right amount of time only when the alcohol content is close to 50%. Their results are published in the open-access journal Scientific Reports.

Experiments show how bubbles indicate alcohol value

Bhargav Rallabandi, mechanical engineering assistant professor at the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE), was awarded the 2020-2021 Hellman Fellowship for his research “Multiscale modeling of sea-ice: linking ice floe dynamics to climate.” Rallabandi received the maximum fellowship support amount of $30,000.

The fellowship will support research conducted at the FlowLab, where principal investigator Rallabandi is pursuing a novel, bottom-up approach to modeling sea ice transport, giving scientists a powerful tool for understanding the rapidly changing polar environment.

The technology, developed by Masa Rao, an associate professor of mechanical engineering in the Marlon and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering, minimizes damage to the cell in the manufacturing process. This enables both high gene delivery efficiency and cellular viability, a feat that most other approaches cannot match.

The licensed technology is a tipping point for emerging lifesaving therapies

“This work is very fundamental,” said co-author Lorenzo Mangolini, a UC Riverside associate professor of mechanical engineering, whose group made the silicon nanocrystals. “The novelty is really how to get the two parts of this structure — the organic molecules and the quantum confined silicon nanocrystals — to work together. We are the first group to really put the two together.”

Researchers use nontoxic silicon nanocrystals to convert low-energy photons into high-energy ones, bringing scientists closer to developing photodynamic treatments for cancer
