The innovative collaboration at UCLA bridges the gap between discovery and medicine.

In tests at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the device converted 22.4 percent of the incoming energy from the sun, a record for that type of cell.

A team of scientists that includes two UCLA College researchers published a study in Nature Communications that sheds light on the phenomenon.

The research provides the first direct evidence of the proteins moving through PTEX, the protein complex that transports malaria proteins into the red blood cell.

Their answers point to breakthroughs that are improving daily lives, preserving the health of the planet and revealing the mysteries of the universe.

The characters’ extraordinary abilities are pure science fiction. Or are they?

“It was a rare case in astronomy where two competing models ... offered precisely opposite predictions,” said UCLA professor Steven Furlanetto.

The psychologists demonstrate for the first time that when forced to choose between a parent and a close friend on a decision with financial consequences, young adults are more likely to choose the parent.

Marco Velli is the observatory scientist on NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which will venture into the sun’s outer atmosphere to advance understanding of space weather.

The early work demonstrates the promise of so-called “mechanoceuticals."

The researchers demonstrated that the device could accurately identify handwritten numbers and items of clothing — both commonly used tests in AI studies.

The finding by a UCLA team may lead to new ways to convert petroleum waste into useful compounds.

Greg Bryant, a professor of communication, studies the nature of laughter — and what it reveals about the evolution of human communication and cooperation.

Research has implications for health and disease, teamwork and collective behavior.

The bioinformatics approach the team used to uncover the weed killer could potentially be used to find new drugs for antibacterial medicines.

The international team has found the first evidence of a source of high-energy cosmic neutrinos — ghostly subatomic particles that can travel unhindered for billions of light-years to Earth.

The findings open up possibilities for new therapies to treat such conditions as osteoporosis and skeletal aging.

A research team led by a UCLA bioengineer has created a model to predict the effectiveness of potential treatments to help the immune system.

The availability of such cells — with properties similar to those from humans and other animals — should help scientists accelerate research on therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Hosea Nelson and Jose Rodriguez have been selected among 22 early career researchers for the awards which provides funding for work advancing human health.

Professor Judea Pearl writes about how the current data-crunching approach to machine learning misses an essential element of human intelligence.

A detailed view of its core may lead to the development of targeted drugs.

The professor emeritus won the 1997 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his pioneering research on the formation of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP — the cellular energy that drives all biological reactions.

The geological abnormalities they observed were collected as part of a long-term research effort.

Scientists have long been interested in Europa because evidence suggests that a vast ocean lies beneath its icy outer shell.
