Advanced statistical techniques enabled UCLA researchers to look backward in time hundreds of thousands of years without fossil DNA.

The patch significantly prolonged survival and reduced the growth of tumors in mice.

Invented by researchers from UCLA and China, the coating was inspired by a natural mechanism that keeps blood from freezing in some fish species.

The cross-disciplinary institute involving Engineering and the School of Law will examine advances in artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, robotics and new forms of digital media to identify their benefits and risks.

The key is a new catalyst: copper with a few atoms of the precious metal ruthenium.

Thanks to an advance by UCLA engineers, the two-wing structure could soon be used to make windmills that harvest energy more efficiently.

Report from Web of Science Group identifies researchers in 21 fields whose work was most often referenced by other papers.

The research is the most comprehensive study to date investigating the potential future scale and cost of 10 different ways to use carbon dioxide.

A who’s who of computer scientists, engineers, technologists, activists and thinkers gathered at UCLA to celebrate the internet’s 50th birthday.

The event is being held exactly a half century after a team led by UCLA professor Leonard Kleinrock sent the first message over the Arpanet — the precursor to today’s internet.

A version of the technology, set up on the roof of a home, could provide enough power overnight to charge a cell phone or to light a room with LED bulbs.

UCLA engineering professor Ximin He said the design could be adapted to use other forms of energy — acoustic waves, or electronic or magnetic signals, for example.

The advance could lead to more reliable analytical tools for biochemical laboratories and environmental monitoring.

The new process creates a material that’s at least five times tougher than any glass currently available.

Q&A with professor Jonathan Stewart about what the team he organized learned in the aftermath of the Ridgecrest earthquakes.

The UCLA-developed sensors work at room temperature, unlike current technology that needs extreme cold.

UCLA researchers have developed a much faster and more accurate method to evaluate the formation of a bacterial community, known as a microbiome.

UCLA researchers and colleagues have designed a first-of-its-kind nanogenerator that can work in remote areas because it provides its own power and does not need batteries. It also acts as a weather station.

The engineers and mathematicians have designed a unique and effective system that could be used to produce clean, fresh water, or to recycle industrial water that would otherwise be wasted.

The donation from alumna Stacey Nicholas create a permanent funding source for WE@UCLA, which was founded in 2017.

A Q&A with Danijela Cabric of the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering on the legendary actress’s less-known role as inventor of a frequency hopping technology.

The aerogel stood up to sudden and extreme temperature spikes between minus 198 degrees Celsius and 900 degrees above zero over just a few seconds.

UCLA researchers already are working with a bicycle manufacturer on prototype frames that would use the alloy.

To help the new system “learn” more like people do, the engineers immersed it in an internet replica of the real world.

“The platform is like a motion detector for the microscopic world because of its ability to lock onto any moving objects in a fluid sample,” said Yibo Zhang, a UCLA doctoral student and the study’s first author.
