Unexpected patterns in the solar wind
UCLA scientists invent new method to discover an unexpected pattern in the distribution of the magnetic field in the solar wind.
Research
Teaching artificial intelligence about complicated structures
A new statistical technique enables researchers to safely use AI for accurate scientific estimates involving highly interconnected systems.
How to define a planet
UCLA Professor proposes a new definition of planets with more specific criteria.
Chemistry, Crystals, and Quantum Science
This landmark research represents a major step in the growth of solid-state chemistry and, in turn, new applications of quantum science research.
A New Mathematical Modeling to Produce Capillaries
Professor Marcus Roper and recent grad Yujia Qi used zebra fish embryo for their work. Previous models had treated blood as a homogeneous fluid, and could not make any network that contained loops, even one as simple as the zebrafish’s.
A major step toward ultrafast magnetism-based computers
The achievement could be a step toward computer memory using ultrafast phenomena that happen on the order of billionths of a second.
Biology’s Lost Children
What are viruses, really? And where did they come from? UCLA’s Chemistry and Biochemistry department is pushing the boundaries of virology, and helping to answer that question once and for all.
Novel AI Model Brings Together Computational and Medical Science
Professor Ying Nian Wu and his colleagues designed two new approaches to better optimize drug design
UCLA receives $1 million NSF grant to develop quantum sensors
Researchers aim to measure and understand atmospheric and aerosol chemistries that standard atmospheric sensors cannot detect
David Leibrandt Wins Moore Foundation Award to Push the Boundaries of Particle Physics
The work supports UCLA’s ongoing leadership in Quantum Science and Technology
