The team, led by a UCLA researcher, used NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to gather data on Comet 332P as it broke apart 67 million miles from Earth.

The laboratory-grown tissue can be used to study diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which has traditionally been difficult to study using conventional methods.

A fluid that behaves similarly to water in our day-to-day lives becomes as heavy as honey when trapped in a nanocage.

The technique involved amplifying a protein signal without using enzymes, which takes the process from two to four hours down to 10 minutes.

A 25-year-old man made remarkable progress following a treatment at UCLA that uses sonic stimulation to excite the neurons in the thalamus.

New research demonstrates that ions subjected to buffer gas cooling never truly cool down to the temperature of the surrounding gas.

Students in “Intro to Oceanography” spoof music videos for the sake of science.

The findings are a major step toward confirming an unusual theory of how some cancer cells metastasize, and the study could lead to new strategies for keeping melanoma from spreading.

The test, developed by UCLA researchers, could also be used to identify biomarkers for cancer and infectious diseases.

More than 300 technology leaders, innovators, policymakers, journalists and academics will gather Friday at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion Club to share their ideas on closing the gender and diversity gap in the technology sector.

UCLA professor Blaire Van Valkenburgh said the animals in question “are all that is left of a once much more diverse megafauna that populated the planet only 12,000 years ago.”

COSMOS-1908 is 12 billion light years away, which is “by far” the most distant galaxy scientists have accurately measured oxygen abundance in.

Twenty-eight outstanding undergraduates from across the country are spending eight weeks at UCLA, learning the latest data analysis techniques and skills that are transforming the biosciences.

A team of scientists including researchers from UCLA has developed an RNA sequencing technique that could advance scientists’ use of stem cells in regenerative medicine.

Scientists at the UCLA Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have discovered that a certain metabolic molecule helps pluripotent stem cells mature faster.

UCLA biologists have found genetic evidence that supports keeping the gray wolf protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which might rule this fall to remove it from the endangered list.

The UCLA-designed platform uses holographic imaging to produce high-resolution images of the crystal-like objects that are the telltale signs of gout.

The finding could help reduce the number of deaths from drug-resistant infections — currently about 700,000 each year.

In addition to uncovering interesting insights about the auto industry, the UCLA study offers a new lens through which researchers could analyze cultural and technological change.
