The sites perform sophisticated, real-time reasoning to ensure that a specific vehicle could be manufactured with the consumer’s preferred combination of options and features.

UCLA scientists have recently partnered with the Sandia National Laboratory to develop special screening libraries based on a gene-editing technology called CRISPR.

Mutations in mitochondrial DNA can cause devastating diseases that mainly affect tissues and cells with high-energy demands, like the brain and muscles.

Small enough to fit on a standard silicon computer chip, the device developed at UCLA Engineering could be used for improved timing, attosecond physics and measuring universal constants.

Viewers will have the rare opportunity to watch Mercury glide slowly across the sun.

UCLA campus planners are using a digital tool developed by the now-defunct Urban Simulation Team to do bird’s-eye and ground-level simulations to help architects fit buildings into available spaces.

UCLA biologists write that the findings should help guide how endangered species are treated.

The researchers discovered good news as well: An omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid seems to reverse the harmful changes.

The device combines two components invented at UCLA: a photonic time stretch microscope and a deep learning computer program that identifies cancer cells with over 95 percent accuracy.

Researchers will develop and test mobile technology, big data analytics, screening technologies and medical robotics in order to address challenges in the way health care is delivered.

UCLA biochemists have devised a way to convert sugar into a variety of useful chemical compounds without using cells and that could lead to the production of biofuels and pharmaceuticals.

The new technique can accurately identify a person’s optimal drug and dose combinations throughout an entire course of treatment, without complex, time-consuming genetic analysis.

Technique developed at UCLA automatically readjusts drug-dose combinations to zero in on the most effective ones.

Denisovans, ancient hominids who lived alongside humans and Neanderthals, were first described in 2010 through DNA extracted from remains in a Siberian cave in 2008.

Funding from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine will support work to genetically engineer immune cells to fight cancer.

The animals, which are related to spiders and scorpions, “look terrifying, but are actually delicate, timid and afraid of you,” says UCLA doctoral candidate Kenneth Chapin.

The new building material called CO2NCRETE would be made from carbon captured from power plant smokestacks potentially eliminating a huge source of greenhouse gas emissions.

Shapley, widely considered a father of game theory, was professor emeritus of economics and mathematics and shared the 2012 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.

Aerospace engineering graduate student Gary Li won first place last week at UCLA Grad Slam, a campuswide competition where graduate students give three-minute presentations on their research.

Volunteer scientists, graduate students and staff from the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA set up a booth to demystify nanoscience in fun ways.

A new report by the UCLA Luskin Center for innovation highlights quality mentoring as a key strategy for reducing inequality.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles deliver the drug directly to the tumor instead of having it spread through the bloodstream.

The events are designed to appeal to people who share a fascination with the science hidden in our food or who are simply curious to know more about the food we eat and cook.

Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, returned to UCLA Anderson, where she got her M.B.A. in 1998, to talk about her career and share her insights on how to succeed in the tech world.
