Bioengineering professor Amy Herr and BioE graduate student Alex Hughes have created a microfluidic Western blot device that can run 48 assays in an hour or less. Their improvement of the Western blot, a workhorse of biology labs, has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Bioengineering professor Sanjay Kumar has been named the 2012 STEM CELLS Young Investigator Award winner by AlphaMed Press.
Berkeley Lab researchers, led by UC Berkeley materials science professor Robert Ritchie, have developed a real-time CT-scan test rig for ceramic composites at ultrahigh temperatures.
Sharing real-time information about traffic or other transportation delays provides drivers and riders greater control over their commute, and it could help local authorities improve transportation planning, says a new study conducted by CITRIS researchers in partnership with San Jose and Ericsson.
Materials science and engineering professor Ron Gronsky has been named to head UC Berkeley's newly established Global Engagement Office, which will facilitate and coordinate the campus’s international initiatives. Gronsky already serves as the special faculty assistant to the chancellor for international relations.
The new BBC show "Miracles of Nature," hosted by Richard Hammond, filmed a recent episode at Berkeley's Etcheverry Hall, where the crew explored the medical exoskeleton system being developed by mechanical engineering professor Homayoon Kazerooni and his graduate students.
Eric Norman, professor of nuclear engineering, was named Thursday as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science “for distinguished contributions to nuclear science and applications to national security, and high commitment to public education and outreach, particularly following the Fukushima nuclear disaster.”
Personal robots that can bake cookies, shoot pool and -- in the hands of EECS professor Pieter Abbeel -- fold laundry are evidence of a new generation in artificial intelligence, jump-started by a Silicon Valley tech company's PR2 robots.
The new part-time program, taught by top faculty from the department of electrical engineering and computer sciences, will let working professionals earn a master's degree within two years.

New program to explore 'crowdfunding,' other innovations in entrepreneurial finance
The Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership has launched a program for innovation in entrepreneurial and social finance that aims to explain the new phenomenon of "crowdfunding" and identify best practices in micro-, mobile- and early-stage entrepreneurial finance.
Alan W. Searcy, a professor emeritus of materials science and engineering, passed away on Nov. 5 at the John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek.
Offshore oil drilling platforms, wind farms and buoys are vulnerable to waves and damage from storm swells. But a team led by Berkeley's Mohammed-Reza Alam, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, has found a way to make such structures invisible to waves, using a rippled platform that sits on the seafloor to 'cloak' the structure directly above.
