Our new publication "Flaming vs. smoldering emissions of pine needles under limited oxygen and fuel moisture conditions" is out in the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute. We show how emissions vary under changing conditions often experienced in fires. buff.ly/4fmAb8l

Results of our collaboration with @ICAPneu published in ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. Prolonged exposure to wildfire smoke, which we helped re-create in the laboratory, results in decreased lung function, similar to what occurs with emphysema. dx.doi.org/10.1115/1.4065272

This week, on The (Not So) Secret Guide to being a Berkeley Engineer podcast, ESS advisor Kendra Van Nyhuis and student, Simon Gonzalez share with us the amazing experience that awaits you studying abroad.
Listen now: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or website, bit.ly/4cil3qx.
ALT Episode 808: Study abroad as a Berkeley Engineer with guests Kendra Van Nyhuis and Simon Gonzalez.
ALT "Studying abroad was one of the things that I'd never thought I'd do, but I am 100% glad I took advantage of, and I'd recommend to anyone. It wasn't only helpful academically, but I feel like it developed some skills that you only get while traveling to a foreign country." ~ Simon Gonzalez, B.S.'25, mechanical engineering

Imagine a crew of astronauts headed to Mars discovering their spacecraft has a cracked O-ring. But instead of relying on limited spare parts, what if they could fabricate any needed parts on demand?
A team of @Cal_Engineer researchers, led by Ph.D. student Taylor Waddell, may have taken a giant leap toward making this option a reality.
