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.

UCLA professor John Villasenor says that though it may seem odd, we already have the laws we need for dealing with this inevitable situation.

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.

“I’ve always been interested in carrying out experiments to try to understand how things work,” said professor Richard Kaner, who knew from childhood that he wanted to become a scientist.

Professor John Villasenor, an electrical engineer in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Luskin School of Public Affairs, is a widely published writer on the intersection of technology and public policy.

A huge, historic off-campus facility gives UCLA architecture grad students the opportunity to explore how robotic technology can help design intelligent buildings.

To visually capture life’s unpredictability, UCLA professor Casey Reas creates stunning art using a computer language he co-created.

Flexible smartphone screens, room-illuminating curtains and nanodiamonds that deliver chemotherapy directly into tumors are among the innovations resulting from the joint work of UCLA and private industry.

UCLA Architecture and Urban Design has announced it will work with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. for its 2014–15 master of architecture II program known as SUPRASTUDIO.

Building a bridge from the laboratory to the marketplace, the Institute for Technology Advancement has launched technology firms and aggressively mined industry expertise to help shape research.

Arguably the most collaborative space on campus, where disciplines like computer science, urban planning, Near Eastern languages and cultures and interactive mapping collide into creative scholarship.

Why isn’t there more solar power in sun-drenched Los Angeles? The technology is there, but the will is not. But that’s changing fast.
