With help from faculty and students at UCLA and Waseda University in Tokyo, UCLA professor Michael Emmerich has developed and launched an app to teach students to read premodern calligraphy used in classical Japanese texts.

Logic would suggest that millions of years of evolution would have perfected spatial localization in humans. A new UCLA study helps explain why that’s not the case.

Technique allows researchers to test many different small molecules at once.

The discovery could point the way toward new drugs that slow or stop the disease from spreading.

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.

The analysis is one of a series of studies led by Daniel Blumstein that address questions about wild animals’ fear responses to humans.

Jean-Luc Margot described a straightforward method that can be used to distinguish planets from other bodies like dwarf planets and minor planets.
