Science + Technology

A new UCLA-led study reinforces the importance of collaboration in assessing the effects of climate change.

The finding could eventually be used to help address human diseases associated with an imbalanced regulation of mitochondria size – for example, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.

The new technique produces better images than current methods, and it’s easier to implement because it requires fewer measurements and performs computations faster.

Researchers designed a new device that uses solar power to inexpensively and efficiently create and store energy and create hydrogen fuel.

The award from the John Templeton Foundation will help researchers address how much power individuals have over their own health.

The researchers' healthy solution is to move the transit sites 120 feet away from intersections, where high concentrations of noxious exhaust are emitted.

Astronaut and alumna Anna Lee Fisher will receive UCLA’s first Science and Education Pioneer award at Young Hall at 2 p.m.

Award-winning comedy television writers with degrees in mathematics and science discuss “The Calculus of Comedy: Math in The Simpsons, Futurama, and The Big Bang Theory” on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017.

Elaine Hsiao, assistant professor of integrative biology and physiology, and Hosea Nelson, UCLA assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, are among 18 winners.

Titan’s liquid methane rain appears to play a major role in shaping its icy surface, and the downpours are much more common than researchers expected.

The astronomers identified a “special comet” called K2 traveling from beyond Saturn’s orbit — the farthest active inbound comet ever seen.

UCLA biophysicists developed the technique and the measuring device.

The donation will support faculty members pursuing research with applications ranging from regenerative medicine to environmental sustainability.

The restoration and improvements made possible by the donation will enhance research and teaching on plant, conservation and environmental biology.

The energy-efficient system uses a thin polymer film that transfers heat from the heat source to a “heat sink.”

The new type of catalysis became apparent as the researchers were studying a substance with insecticidal properties that is naturally produced by fungi.

The UCLA study could eventually have applications in medicine, food science and other fields.

The system is made of inexpensive components, including an image sensor chip that costs just a few dollars apiece and is like the ones used in mobile phone cameras.

Andrea Ghez is an astronomy professor and pre-eminent scholar on the role of black holes in the evolution of galaxies.

The scientists believe the technique, which focuses on cells’ mitochondria, could eventually lead to a way to delay the onset of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

The new hypothesis doesn’t rely on the “unlikely coincidences” that underpin other theories explaining primordial black holes.

UCLA anthropologist Susan Perry finds that older, sociable monkeys are more likely to develop mannerisms and then transmit them to others.

Divided attention does impair memory, but a UCLA study found that people can still selectively focus on what is most important — even while they’re distracted.

More than 1,000 people filled the Court of Sciences on Monday to view the partial eclipse of the sun.

Public event, featuring filtered solar telescopes for safe viewing, will be held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 21.
