Wavelength scanning pixel super-resolution allows researchers to view large samples in much finer detail.

The advance could make it much more efficient to build nanoelectronic and nanobioelectronic devices that could measure brain cell and circuit function in real time.

To create the super-strong but lightweight metal, scientists found a new way to disperse and stabilize nanoparticles in molten metals.

Discovery could aid in the creation of vaccines and drug treatments for bluetongue disease.

The study, by researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute, could be an important step in the effort to satisfy the world’s need for clean water.

Nanoparticle system delivers the antibiotic moxifloxacin directly to infected cells, greatly improving treatment of pneumonic tularemia.

UCLA research reveals the three-dimensional atomic structure of a double-stranded RNA virus and the biological nano-switch that turns on transcription.

Technique creates 3-D objects that could be used in a variety of biomedical and industrial applications.

The new cell construction extends the cell’s effective life in air by more than 10 times, with only a marginal loss of efficiency converting sunlight to electricity.

UCLA researchers found that the tiny particles can strengthen gutta percha, the material used to fill the root canal, and even deliver drugs to fight infection.

“There is so much potential for treating disease if we understand deeply how telomerase works,” said UCLA professor Juli Feigon, a senior author of the study.

The particles are used in a wide range of consumer products for their ability to kill bacteria. But that benefit might be coming at a cost to the environment.

The advance could eventually lead to vastly improved technology for capturing solar energy.

Cement manufacturing accounts for roughly 7 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, but scientists are determined to lessen its environmental impact.

Fuel cells and hydrogen batteries are already important sources of green energy, but further advances will require scientists and engineers to better understand how the technologies work.

New mobile device, created with a 3D printer, analyzes blood samples and delivers results in under a minute.

Material is easier and less expensive to make than the current standard, but had not previously been shown to emit light.

Because topological insulators are so tiny, scientists have, until now, been unable to fully understand how the defects impact their functionality.

Scientists from UCLA and City of Hope have become the first to inhibit the mechanism of a protein that regulates a key process that causes cancer to grow.

The study, published in Science, addresses problems that have long stalled the adoption of fuel cell technology.

Breakthrough could lead to new ways of treating and controlling diseases like lupus and psoriasis.

Coherent diffractive imaging transforms the conventional view of microscopy by replacing the physical lens with a computational algorithm.

California NanoSystems Institute researchers have imaged the atomic structures of three specific biological nanomachines, findings they hope advance work on antibiotics targeted toward specific pathogens.

UCLA engineers and doctors developed a tool that can deliver nanoparticles, enzymes, antibodies and bacteria into cells thousands of times faster than current technology.

New compact, reliable energy storage devices outperform batteries by holding larger amounts of energy, recharging more quickly and lasting for longer recharge cycles.
