Students at UCLA create interactive stories using Google Glass that show how wearable technology could alter the idea of narrative.

The funding from the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine will support Dr. John Chute's research aimed at creating new stem cell therapies for use in medical practice.

The findings may help doctors develop interventions to help lower risk for memory issues, UCLA researchers say.

Researchers at UCLA have created a nanoscale magnetic component for computer memory chips that could significantly improve their energy efficiency.

In clinical trials at UCLA, doctors are seeing major treatment successes with an experimental drug called MK-3475 in two types of cancer with historically low survival rates: metastatic melanoma and lung cancer.

The UCLA team's findings could lead to treatments for blood disorders associated with both iron deficiencies and overloads.

A new report by professors from UCLA and five other universities concludes that climate engineering won't suffice, and we have to cut down the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere.

The public is invited to join world-renowned culinary visionaries at UCLA's popular "Scientific Bake-off," part of life scientist Amy Rowat's "Science and Food" course.

The UCLA-led team's new approach could lead to new materials with significant improvements in performance, such as self-lubricating bearings for engines, and it may eventually have applications in medicine.

"It's like your car's airbag, which won’t be deployed unless you really need it," UCLA's Alexander Hoffman said of the specialized immune cells, which use a built-in feedback system to determine which threats are real and which aren't.

Amy Rowat, an assistant professor in UCLA's Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology, believes food can be a powerful way to communicate science to a broad audience.

A UCLA research team has developed a new class of materials that could lead to more energy-efficient and "greener" electronic devices.

Identifying enzyme catalysts that improve the speed and efficiency of the drug-production process can be a major boon. Figuring out exactly why a particular enzyme works so well, UCLA researchers say, is an altogether different quest.

Approximately 600 students will be presenting their research in the humanities and the social, life and physical sciences.

A rolling water treatment plant designed by UCLA researchers made a pit stop on campus this week before heading north to the San Joaquin Valley, where it will help address California’s inadequate water supply.

Judea Pearl, a UCLA faculty member since 1969, was honored for his 'distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.

Phony laughter, unlike the real thing, is unique to humans, says Greg Bryant, who is studying the acoustic properties that differentiate the two types of cachinnation.

A device and manufacturing process created by UCLA researchers could lead to a significant leap in the quality of images on smartphones, computer displays, TVs and inkjet printers.

With two deans and six additional faculty members elected, UCLA is home to more 2014 fellows than any other public university in the country.

The workshop will address how data analysis based on sophisticated mathematics is reshaping political campaigns.

Arieh Warshel, who won the 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry, will present a chemistry seminar Monday, April 21.

UCLA scientists found that not only have male coquis become smaller, but their mating call has also become shorter and higher pitched; the researchers attribute the change to Puerto Rico's warmer temperatures.

The UCLA researchers' findings counter years of conventional wisdom that a biosensor can be made more sensitive simply by reducing the diameter of the nanowires that make up the device.

Discovery of hydrogen-rich apatite in lunar rocks seemed to hint that the moon's past was more watery. Think again, says UCLA's Jeremy Boyce.

UCLA life scientist Amy Rowat's tasty springtime demonstrations seek to advance the public's understanding of science through food, and food through science.
