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 professor of musicology David MacFadyen is a champion of blockchain and how it could influence the future study and scholarship in arts and literature.

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.

Their technique would enable an average biochemistry laboratory to make its own sequences for only about $2 per gene, far less than the $50 to $100 per gene commercial vendors charge.

Hong shares what it was like to run a leg in the torch relay for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and the future of robot athletics.

“This technology is a game-changer for us drug discovery scientists,” said Robert Damoiseaux, a UCLA professor of molecular and medical pharmacology.

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’s Jane Margolis and Julie Flapan use research to help policymakers devise equitable and effective strategies to scale up diversity in computer science.

Researchers from the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation create a guide for making parks more user-friendly and sustainable.

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.

The protocol could be a step toward therapies to restore sensation in people who are paralyzed and have lost feeling in parts of their body.

UCLA research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is the first proof that a single material can be both static and moving.

“I’ve been studying young stars near Earth for 20 years and I’ve never seen anything like this one,” said UCLA astronomer Benjamin Zuckerman.

The study, by UCLA and the University of Wisconsin, was based on analysis of specimens more than 3 billion years old.

UCLA research shows that the changes have had a dramatic effect on Colpichthys hubbsi, a species that lives only in the region near the Sea of Cortez.

Each is among 14 scientists nationally to be named by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute as HHMI professors. UCLA is tied for second in the number of 2017 recipients.

UCLA professor Lihua Jin’s work in soft materials engineering is helping pave the way for these kinds of advances.

UCLA researchers discovered that, when heart muscle cells were mixed with high levels of glucose, they matured late or failed to mature altogether, and instead generated more immature cells.

The new technique sheds light on the materials the artist used, and the order in which they were applied to the painting. It also helped scientists uncover insights about the painting’s connections to other work from the same era.

As electronic devices have become smaller, using silicon components to power them has become more challenging; a team of faculty and students has developed a promising solution.

Scientists using a state-of-the-art UCLA instrument have witnessed a planetary-scale “tug-of-war” of life, deep Earth and the upper atmosphere that is expressed in atmospheric nitrogen.
