A Google Glass app paired with a handheld device will allow users to quickly analyze the health of living plants without damaging them.

A team led by engineers from UCLA and Columbia University controlled light at tiny lengths around 500 nanometers — smaller than the light’s own wavelength — by using random crystal lattice structures.

The online master’s degree program at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science has been named the best in the country by U.S. News and World Report.

Padmanabhan’s support of the lab, which will be housed in the still-under-construction Engineering VI building, will further cement UCLA as a premiere research institution.

UCLA researchers led by Aydogan Ozcan have developed a lens-free microscope that can be used to detect cancer with the same accuracy as larger and more expensive optical microscopes.

Researchers from UCLA have developed the first lightweight, compact device that converts an ordinary smartphone into an advanced fluorescence microscope.

A 28-foot-long elevator from an Airbus A330 was donated to the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. The part, which is used for flight control on the aircraft’s tail, is valued at $750,000.

True “omniphobic” surfaces — those that can repel any liquid, even those with the lowest surface tensions — have been elusive until now.

Each have been honored for their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.

UCLA researchers find that using a perovskite solution could improve the quality and manufacturing efficiency of medical and commercial imaging devices.

Researchers at UCLA have developed a more efficient way to turn methanol into useful chemicals, like liquid fuels, that would lower production costs in addition to reducing emission of the greenhouse gas.

Researchers from UCLA and Architected Materials will use the grant to continue developing breakthrough technology to reduce the frequency and severity of head injuries to football players.

The institute will provide new knowledge and technology to assess and manage risks in order to save lives, protect the environment and protect property from large-scale threats.

The technology, which could be used in smartphones and other wireless devices, would reduce demand on the radio spectrum without compromising quality or speed of communications.

Jacqueline and Oscar Stafsudd Jr. earned four UCLA degrees between them, and Oscar has been a faculty member for 47 years. The couple say their gift is "a way of expressing our gratitude."

UCLA will host universities and technology companies who are working to promote the development and adoption of Named Data Networking, an emerging Internet architecture.

Chair will support an engineering professor who is an accomplished researcher, teacher and mentor to future engineering leaders.

Two UCLA engineering professors say that it's crucial for engineers to understand the hazards that threaten our levees to ensure that California's fresh water delivery system remains protected in the future.

UCLA, USC, Caltech are collaborating in creating a National Science Foundation-funded center to translate scientific and engineering research into technology for the marketplace.

UCLA researchers have developed a disposable biosensor that attaches to the abdomen and may help doctors determine which patients should be fed following surgery.

Researchers at UCLA have set the stage for a watershed in mobile energy by using a unique graphene material to significantly boost the amount of energy supercapacitors can store.

The center will advance the study of “program obfuscation,” the use of new encryption methods to make a computer program invisible to an outside observer while preserving the way it works.

The NSF and semiconductor giant Intel Corp. have partnered to support UCLA research that could reduce radiation from CT scans and lead to the development of new cancer treatments.

Unlike many of today's other imaging technologies that use light waves and radio waves, the device uses terahertz waves, which provide high efficiency and signal clarity.

As part of a major federal initiative, campus researchers have been awarded $15 million to create a wireless, implantable device that could restore memory to millions.
