- Researchers may be one step closer to making robot dogs our new best friends: Using advances in machine learning, they developed cutting-edge approaches to shorten in-the-field training times for quadruped robots, getting them to walk — and even roll over — in record time. https://engineering.berkeley.edu/news/2022/10/step-by-step/ 28 comments technology
- Human lung proteins can advance or thwart SARS-CoV-2 infections: Mucins (specifically MUC1 and MUC4) — the main component of mucus found in the lungs — seem to help block the SARS-CoV-2 virus from entering our cells. https://engineering.berkeley.edu/news/2022/07/berkeley-led-study-identifies-human-lung-proteins-that-can-advance-or-thwart-covid-19-infections/ 13 comments science
- Study of aqueous salt solutions deepens our understanding of icy planets’ oceans: Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a new way to measure properties of salty water that may help us better understand whether the icy moons in the far reaches of our solar system can support life. https://engineering.berkeley.edu/news/2022/04/study-of-aqueous-salt-solutions-deepens-our-understanding-of-icy-planets-oceans/ 7 comments science

- Engineers have developed a mineral-coated sand that can soak up toxic metals like lead and cadmium from water. Along with its ability to destroy organic pollutants like bisphenol A (BPA), this material could help cities tap into stormwater, an abundant but underused water source. https://engineering.berkeley.edu/2019/12/sustainable-sand-gives-pollution-one-two-punch 208 comments science
