What if there was a way to extend the shelf life of donated blood? @NANO_UCSD PhD student & #ResearchExpo2019 winner Jia Zhuang is developing #nanoparticles to do just that. The goal is to help clinics keep up with the high demand for transfusions. bit.ly/ResearchExpo20…

UC San Diego For every 10 gifts made-no matter the size-to the EnVision Arts and Engineering Maker Studio, the Powell Foundation will donate an additional $10,000 to the makerspace. Students love having access to the tools at EnVision, and use the space for class & personal projects #ugive

Say hello to soft human-machine interfaces! This soft robotic lens is controlled by the eyes--blink twice, the lens zooms in and out; look left, right, up or down, the lens follows. It could lead to visual prostheses and soft robots that can see. bit.ly/SoftRoboticLens
