Science + Technology

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.

UCLA electrical engineers led a research team that has developed a new artificial composite material for the control of higher-frequency electromagnetic waves.

Professor Neil Garg's online tutorials show how organic chemistry is connected to sports, health and even popular TV shows.

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

A UCLA study used 3D chromosome-mapping technology to advance understanding of disorder’s cause. The work provides important new information about how schizophrenia originates and could lead to better treatments.

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 donation will support planned expansion and open new areas for research and entrepreneurship.

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.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz spoke with UCLA leaders and researchers in engineering and physics this morning and toured two laboratories on campus that receive support from the U.S. Department of Energy.

In recognition of National Cyber Security Awareness Month in October, UCLA and UC are offering a variety of resources to help students, faculty and staff better understand cyber risk and stay safer and more secure online.

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.

UCLA scientists help create device that makes monitoring disease biomarkers easier and more cost-effective.

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

There have been many wrongful criminal convictions where the use of faulty forensic science evidence was a major culprit in producing injustice.

Teams of UCLA students, staff and faculty who have created clever, first-of-their-kind software and applications that use the latest technologies to help solve problems unveiled the result of thousands of hours of hard work Thursday at a campus conference.

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.

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

The least developed human embryonic stem cells, or “naïve” pluripotent stem cells, consume more sugar than “primed” pluripotent stem cells, which are embryonic stem cells from later in development, researchers have discovered.

Craig Merlic, an associate professor of chemistry at UCLA, has been committed to laboratory safety for three decades. He serves as the executive director of the UC Center for Laboratory Safety.

Reconnaissance group leaves Saturday to investigate geotechnical and geological aspects of the destructive quake sequence in August.

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

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

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.
