UCLA researchers designed Chatterbaby, which uses artificial intelligence to help determine if baby is hungry, fussy or in pain.

Scientists have long been interested in Europa because evidence suggests that a vast ocean lies beneath its icy outer shell.

The process analyzes several possible risk scenarios to help doctors more thoroughly assess people who could be candidates for heart transplants.

UCLA’s Sarah T. Roberts spoke with the executive about how the world’s largest social media platform balances free expression with creating a safe community for all.

The research in marine snails could lead to new treatments to restore memories and alter traumatic ones in people with Alzheimer's disease and those dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“Tissues are wonderfully complex structures, so to engineer artificial versions of them that function properly, we have to recreate their complexity,” said UCLA professor Ali Khademhosseini.

Researchers led by UCLA’s Dr. Paul Krebsbach are the first to characterize the mechanism of the gene, and they found it regulates the molecular process that dictates cell growth and human development.

“The center will provide CNSI with the cutting-edge technology to help us maintain our leadership in biophotonics research,” said UCLA’s Laurent Bentolila.

In this Q&A about “The Book of Why,” UCLA’s Judea Pearl shares how understanding causality plays a vital role in developing artificial intelligence.

Utpal Banerjee and Andrea Bertozzi, were chosen in recognition of their “distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.”

The nonsurgical technique, developed by a UCLA-led team, allows them to turn doorknobs and open water bottles for the first time in years.

The study, led by Professor Amander Clark, could lead to important advances in an area of medicine that historically has been underfunded and underappreciated.

Sarah T. Roberts, who has pioneered the study of screening user-generated internet content, joins 30 other fellows from across the nation.

“Today’s rich biodiversity among marine fish shows the fingerprints of the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period,” said Michael Alfaro, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.

Researchers used cryo electron microscopy to obtain the first atomic model of the particle, which is made up of more than 3,000 protein molecules comprising tens of millions of atoms.

The technique that uses cryo-electron microscopy should help scientists better understand disease-causing proteins.

The studies found a link between risk-related terms that Google and Twitter users researched or tweeted about and subsequent syphilis trends that were reported to the CDC.

The new method will improve the ability to identify genetic changes most likely to harm cells and contribute to disease.

The advance could help bring high-quality medical diagnostics into resource-poor regions, where people otherwise do not have access to high-end technology.

Working to upend one of the most stalwart of construction materials, a team of UCLA researchers created a near carbon dioxide-neutral version of concrete.

The research explains concepts that were described nearly 90 years ago but had remained poorly understood until now.

The gift, to support work in operator algebras, extends Masamichi Takesaki’s previous investment in his home department.

The research, which enabled viewing of an enormous blue star nicknamed Icarus, increases understanding of the fundamental composition of the universe, said UCLA’s Tommaso Treu, co-author of the study.

The statistical analysis software the researchers have designed is more precise and reliable than previous methods.

The findings of this study could lead to the creation of new treatments for speech problems in people, including children with autism.
