UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital has launched an innovative project to support the emotional needs of children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The innovative device turns finger movements into electrical signals and ultimately into spoken words through a smartphone app.

UCLA’s Ramesh Srinivasan has ideas for the future of work — and workers.

The film collects chemical signals from sweat and converts them into electrical ones that can be processed and displayed on a watch.

Yalda Uhls writes that people shouldn’t obsessively fear that screen time is stunting kids’ emotional development.

The design could also be altered to detect other infectious diseases and airborne viral threats by continuously monitoring the air of indoor environments.

UCLA study suggests younger kids might be more adept at deciphering nonverbal emotional cues in photographs.

The drug’s legalization and decriminalization have made detection especially important for preventing impaired driving, the authors say.

Winning apps aid in city planning, remote learning, COVID-19 quarantine and more.

“The advance is like the transition from black-and-white TV to color TV,” said UCLA professor Aydogan Ozcan.

Kleinrock was awarded the campus’s highest honor for his contributions in providing the intellectual foundation for the modern technical age.

UCLA paleobiologist’s pursuit to uncover Earth’s earliest record of life has spanned 60 years and counting.

UCLA is tied for fifth in the number of professors honored this year as early-career scientists and scholars who are rising stars of science.

Murthy has been dean of UCLA Engineering since January 2016. She is the first woman to hold the position.

The patch significantly prolonged survival and reduced the growth of tumors in mice.

A UCLA-led study finds the practice effective and comparable to monitoring by physicians.

The cross-disciplinary institute involving Engineering and the School of Law will examine advances in artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, robotics and new forms of digital media to identify their benefits and risks.

Co-author Andrea Ghez says the objects look like gas and behave like stars.

Magnetic storms originate closer to Earth than previously thought, threatening satellites.

UCLA began observing its 100th birthday and delivered new advances in research, health care, the arts, community service and teaching.

The object is a magnetic structure that covers an enormous region of some 160 light-years.

The annual awards, which are given to a diverse array of projects, foster the advancement of the arts and arts-related scholarship.

The fluorescence microscopy technique is expected to benefit studies in life sciences and biology.

In a Q&A, UCLA’s Ramesh Srinivasan talks about the intersections between society, politics and culture through the lens of technology and the internet.

The funds will add scholarships and new curriculum for the renamed Ziffren Institute for Media, Entertainment, Technology and Sports Law.
