UCLA and Caltech researchers created jagged platinum nanowires that would require only 1/50 as much platinum as used in current smooth-shaped wires.

The development of DZ-2384 by UCLA chemists led to an international research collaboration which found that the molecule appears to help fight several types of cancer.

The peptide discovery by UCLA researchers and others has broad implications for biomedicine.

Study finds that ‘childhood imprinting’ limits people’s susceptibility to severe infection from two major strains of avian influenza.

The technique, called a "non-malleable commitment," is the electronic equivalent of a lockbox and requires only two rounds of one-way communication from the sender to the recipient.

UCLA researchers note that the next decade shows great promise for things like improving food safety, fighting infections, storing energy and supplying clean energy.

A study by UCLA researchers found that a noninvasive method can help to determine whether an individual will enter remission after just one week of medical treatment.

Touching a large meteorite, making your own cloud in a bottle and attending a planetarium show are just some of the activities visitors can look forward to at Exploring Your Universe.

The discoveries led by UCLA researchers may lead to major insights about light perception and how circadian clocks could affect human health.

UCLA scientists and colleagues identify the structure of a molecule that kills mosquitoes carrying malaria. The findings are a step toward genetically engineering a toxin that would be lethal to species that carry other diseases.

Multicolored laser light could be used to cool atoms of hydrogen or carbon to nearly absolute zero, allowing scientists to study chemical reactions at the quantum scale.

The UCLA professor emeritus, who directed the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, was honored with two others for designing and developing molecular machines.

Scientists from the Institute for Planets and Exoplanets will offer free views of the moon from the roof of the Mathematical Sciences Building.

Five excited UCLA freshmen recently met the cast, producers, writers and crew of “The Big Bang Theory,” the people who are helping to fund their scholarships.

New findings by a UCLA-led team of researchers answer a question about our space environment and will help scientists protect telecommunication and navigation satellites.

The cutting-edge project that includes renowned scientists will tackle major challenges in the physical sciences, life sciences and engineering.

The team, led by a UCLA researcher, used NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to gather data on Comet 332P as it broke apart 67 million miles from Earth.

The laboratory-grown tissue can be used to study diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which has traditionally been difficult to study using conventional methods.

A fluid that behaves similarly to water in our day-to-day lives becomes as heavy as honey when trapped in a nanocage.

The technique involved amplifying a protein signal without using enzymes, which takes the process from two to four hours down to 10 minutes.

A 25-year-old man made remarkable progress following a treatment at UCLA that uses sonic stimulation to excite the neurons in the thalamus.

New research demonstrates that ions subjected to buffer gas cooling never truly cool down to the temperature of the surrounding gas.

Students in “Intro to Oceanography” spoof music videos for the sake of science.

The findings are a major step toward confirming an unusual theory of how some cancer cells metastasize, and the study could lead to new strategies for keeping melanoma from spreading.

The test, developed by UCLA researchers, could also be used to identify biomarkers for cancer and infectious diseases.
