What happens when an earthquake strikes — and fear takes over? @Cal_Engineer researchers are using virtual reality and earthquake simulations to study how risk perception shapes split-second decisions, offering new insight into how to help people respond when every second counts. bit.ly/46EXiHX

Do you enjoy movies with cool special effects? Thank Petro Vlahos, Class of 1941, born August 20, 1916. A Cal engineering major, he received 5 Oscars and an Emmy for inventing special effects technologies, most significantly the modern green-screen, first used in Ben-Hur (1959).

What if you could see how flooding might affect your community—and how decisions could change the outcome? Berkeley engineers are developing hydrodynamic “digital twins” to help Californians better understand and manage flood risk. bit.ly/4huaYME

Can ‘digital twins’ help California manage its growing flood risk? - Berkeley News

UC Berkeley researchers are creating virtual simulations of the Lower Pajaro River Valley to better integrate ecology, climate change and social equity into flood management.

What if it was possible for people to actually see what it would look like when their community floods, and how specific management decisions might change the picture? That’s the goal of an ongoing UC Berkeley-led project. Read the Berkeley News story: bit.ly/3UcLgCD

Berkeley engineers have developed a breakthrough approach to overcoming the long-standing trade-off between speed, field of view, and resolution in optical microscopy. “Our approach could be used to image many live organisms simultaneously and to monitor samples over time.” — Laura Waller, @Berkeley_EECS professor and the study’s principal investigator
