Sun-Star staff

UC Merced's Office of Research has released a publication showcasing its work.

The 64-page, full-color document, called "Inventions," highlights technologies that increase the efficiency of solar energy collectors, medical developments that could limit the reproduction of the hepatitis C virus or the spread of HIV, and materials that could improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.

Highlights from "Inventions" include:

A number of inventions that increase the efficiency of solar energy collectors, developed by Roland Winston.

A solar system that simultaneously offers air conditioning, water heating and power generation, developed by Gerardo Diaz

A treatment technique developed by Jinah Choi and Scott Seronello that may suppress the ability of the hepatitis C liver virus to replicate itself

A low-cost way to encourage production of molecules that speed the recovery of burn victims, improve the quality of life in AIDS patients and fight breast cancer, developed by Matthew Meyer and Hui Zhu

A potential component for topical solutions to prevent the spread of HIV, developed by Patti LiWang

A nanoparticle that could make for an economical, effective alternative to over-the-counter decongestants, developed by Eric Yi-Tong Chen, Wei-Chun Chin and Yung-Chen Wang

Jennifer Lu's polymer-carbon nanotube gel, which could lead to better lithium-ion batteries

To receive a print copy of "Inventions," contact Rich Miller, associate vice chancellor for research, at rmiller4@ucmerced.edu.
