Hypersaline Hyperviscous Fluids Better Treatment for Severe Blood Loss
UC San Diego bioengineering researchers report in the journal Resuscitation that treatment of severe blood loss, which for decades has included large volumes of isotonic fluids that thin the blood, may be improved significantly with smaller volumes of highly salty water and viscosity enhancers that thicken blood.

4/22/08Creating Faster Integrated Circuits by Slowing Light
TwoUCSD research groups have merged two previously unrelated areas of cutting-edge research in optics – slow light and Anderson localization – and have shown in a paper published in the journal Nature Photonics that structures being considered as prime building blocks for nanophotonic integrated circuits are very susceptible to the effects of disorder, including Anderson localization.

UC San Diego computer scientists have cut the computational cost required to make 3-D images of fog pierced by realistic beams of light and other sophisticated computer generated graphics. The researchers presented their findings this week at Europe’s premier computer graphics conference, Eurographics 2008 in Crete, Greece.
