Professor Judea Pearl writes about how the current data-crunching approach to machine learning misses an essential element of human intelligence.

A detailed view of its core may lead to the development of targeted drugs.

The professor emeritus won the 1997 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his pioneering research on the formation of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP — the cellular energy that drives all biological reactions.

The geological abnormalities they observed were collected as part of a long-term research effort.

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

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

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

“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.

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

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

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 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.

UCLA undergraduates in the Rocket Project have become science and engineering ambassadors at Los Angeles-area schools.

UCLA chemistry professor helped develop Erleada, which was recently approved by the FDA for treating an especially lethal form of prostate cancer.

These “superlattices” could lead to improved and new classes of electronics, from transistors to LEDs.

The advance shows great promise for helping the body’s immune system seek out and destroy cancer cells.

In experiments the device produced 30 percent better capacitance — the measure of a device’s ability to store an electric charge — for its mass compared to the best available electrode made from similar materials.

UCLA is tied for third in the number of people honored this year by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which selects early-career scientists who are rising stars of science.

A ‘buffering effect’ of two key regions shielded some study participants from the symptoms of depression, a new study by UCLA psychologists has found.

UCLA has acquired a rare lunar meteorite that was blasted off the moon by the impact of a large meteoroid, and landed in North Africa.

Chemistry professor has for years been praised by his students. The award, given every two years, was announced by Baylor University.

Yellow-bellied marmots live much longer, on average, if they are less social and more isolated than if they are more social and less isolated, a UCLA-led study has found.
