Research Brief: Researchers compared the system’s results with readings by UCLA doctors who had more than 10 years of experience.

UCLA researchers and colleagues have designed a first-of-its-kind nanogenerator that can work in remote areas because it provides its own power and does not need batteries. It also acts as a weather station.

The engineers and mathematicians have designed a unique and effective system that could be used to produce clean, fresh water, or to recycle industrial water that would otherwise be wasted.

UCLA professor Kent Hill said the new insights could apply to other disease-causing parasites as well, including those that cause Chagas disease.

UCLA astronomer Mark Morris and an international team of collaborators found that the two plumes extend over 500 light-years.
