UCLA mathematicians ‘cheat physics’ to produce stunning visual effects.

UCLA professor Henry Kelly examines historical canonical legal procedures to correct the popular myths around the Italian astronomer’s belief in a sun-centered solar system.

Local high school students learn about the life of a UCLA scientist and practical uses for nanotechnology.

The team found a way to correct the instability by resetting the stem cells from a later stage of development to an earlier stage. These results could have great impact on the creation of healthy tissues to cure disease.

Two UCLA faculty members — molecular biologist Robert Goldberg and international law and policy scholar Edward Parson — defended the use of genetically modified organisms in food production at a Zócalo/UCLA discussion held in downtown Los Angeles.

A simple and inexpensive attachment could help to expand testing to regions with limited resources.

The findings could help improve upon standard behavioral therapy, in which people are exposed to the objects they’re afraid of — which can be frightening enough that some cannot complete treatment.

Researchers from the schools of dentistry, medicine and engineering developed a digital health platform capable of optimizing efficacy and safety during chemotherapy.

Modifying the structure of molybdenum trioxide could lead to laptop computers that fully charge in minutes, last for hours.

The findings could one day lead to improved therapies for people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer.

Robert Montoya, UCLA doctoral candidate and staff member, is exploring the scientific community's evolving approach to sharing information online.

An multidisciplinary team designed an algorithm that could discern structured narratives within the flow of posts on the internet reflecting how humans communicate.

The new observations confirm a long-standing theory that stars are copious producers of heavy elements.

Mitochondrial DNA discoveries by a team of UCLA and Caltech scientists may help to prevent or delay the onset of age-related diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Visitors to the new UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center will be assisted by a robot concierge built by UCLA engineering students.

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.

Eric Hoek of UCLA Engineering has spent his life searching for ways to clean water. He's succeeding.

Mona Jarrahi is being recognized for her work researching terahertz-based imaging technologies.

The class of material, which is a conductor and insulator of electric current, could be used for ultra-low power computing.

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.
