September 14, 2022 | In visit to UCLA, National Science Foundation director emphasizes accessibility and inclusiveness
Sethuraman Panchanathan, director of the National Science Foundation, met with UCLA students, faculty members and administrative leaders this week, offering words of inspiration on how researchers can best influence and guide the next generation of scientists and...
September 13, 2022 | ‘Glass bubble’ nanocarrier boosts effects of combination therapy for pancreatic cancer
Over the past 30 years, progress in early detection and treatment of cancer has helped reduce the overall death rate by more than 30%. Pancreatic cancer, however, has remained difficult to treat. Only 1 in 9 people survive five years after diagnosis, in part because...
September 9, 2022 | Researchers from UCLA, Morehouse College Receive NSF Grant for Quantum Research
A physicist at Morehouse College in Atlanta and an engineer at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have received a three-year, $798,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for research in quantum electrodynamics, coupled with a leadership and trainee plan...

Q&A with Mostafa Abuseada - 4th year PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, majoring in Thermal Science and Engineering Q&A with Mostafa Abuseada, 4th year PhD student in Mechanical Engineering Mostafa Abuseada is a 4th year PhD...
August 29, 2022 | Chemical-free Re-staining of Tissue using Deep Learning
In a recent work published in ACS Photonics, a journal of the American Chemical Society, UCLA researchers developed a computational approach powered by artificial intelligence to virtually transfer (re-stain) images of tissue already stained with H&E into different...
August 24, 2022 | Remote heart rate sensors can be biased against darker skin. A UCLA team offers a solution
As telemedicine has grown more popular, so have devices that allow people to measure their vital signs from home and transmit the results by computer to their doctors. Yet in many cases, obtaining accurate remote readings for people of color has proved a persistent...
August 23, 2022 | UCLA-led Team Induces Cell Reprogramming Process with Mechanical Squeeze
UCLA bioengineers and colleagues have unveiled a fast, efficient and simple way to prime cells and help convert them from one type into another by squeezing them mechanically for a millisecond. This novel biophysical approach could improve the efficiency of cell...
August 22, 2022 | Superior phase recovery and hologram reconstruction using a deep neural network
UCLA researchers have recently created a novel neural network architecture, termed Fourier Imager Network (FIN), which demonstrated unprecedented generalization to unseen sample types, also achieving superior computational speed in phase retrieval and holographic...
August 16, 2022 | Hydrogen fuel cell advance: UCLA team exceeds DOE-set targets for fuel cell performance and durability
A recent study in Nature Nanotechnology led by a UCLA professor may represent a turning point. The researchers reported on an approach that enabled them to meet — and beat — ambitious targets for high catalyst performance, high stability and low use of platinum that...
August 15, 2022 | AI-designed camera only records objects of interest while being blind to others
A new research paper published in eLight demonstrated a new paradigm to achieve privacy-preserving imaging by building a fundamentally new type of imager designed by AI. In their paper, UCLA researchers, led by Professor Aydogan Ozcan, presented a smart camera design...
August 16, 2022 | Bruin biophysicist’s research pushes forward development of cultured meat
Now an associate professor of integrative biology and physiology and the holder of UCLA’s Marcie H. Rothman Presidential Chair in Food Studies, CNSI member Amy Rowat has spiced up both her pedagogy and her research with her gastronomic interests. She is founding...
August 9, 2022 | Bug Eyes and Bat Sonar: UCLA Bioengineers Turn to Animal Kingdom for Creation of Bionic Super 3D Cameras
A pair of UCLA bioengineers and a former postdoctoral scholar have developed a new class of bionic 3D camera systems that can mimic flies’ multiview vision and bats’ natural sonar sensing, resulting in multidimensional imaging with extraordinary depth range that can...
