A new method used to study planets’ geochemistry implies that Earth is not unique.

UCLA research identifies a potential strategy that may lead to treatment for the disorder.

Comet 2I/Borisov is the first interstellar comet to be observed by astronomers.

UCLA astronomer Bradley Hansen on how a giant exomoon hundreds of times the size of Earth might help astronomers find planets where life may thrive.

The 33rd edition of the open-streets event celebrates UCLA’s Centennial with activities that brought campus highlights downtown.

If skies are clear, viewers will be able to see the moon — approximately 240,000 miles from Earth — and its many craters in great detail.

UCLA evolutionary biologist Blaire Van Valkenburgh links an increase in fractured teeth to a dwindling supply of the carnivores' prey.

Innovative technology improves visualization of a patient’s anatomy.

UCLA Health researchers implanted a wireless device that enables people without sight to detect motion, distinguish light and dark.

“We have never seen anything like this in the 24 years we have studied the supermassive black hole,” said UCLA professor Andrea Ghez.

Research shows that certain gut bacteria can respond to serotonin and drugs that influence serotonin, like anti-depressants. The biologists call this a unique form of communication between bacteria and cells.

The invention relies in part on another UCLA invention, photonic time stretch.

The approach could offer a way to manufacture more effective filters that use high-performance plastics and carbon materials.

Their findings could lead to new methods to get the body's repair enzyme to work better.

Of mice that received high doses of radiation, nearly all that received a compound developed by UCLA scientists survived.

Research brief: The team developed an approach to visualizing structure called microcrystal electron diffraction, which allowed the researchers to confirm how the newly discovered molecular assembly pathway works.

Does the physicist’s theory tell the full story? A detailed analysis of a star’s orbit near supermassive black hole gives a look into how gravity behaves.

The research addresses a longstanding question: Why does the moon have so much less ice than Mercury, despite their similar surface conditions?
