Congestion control system could help streaming video, mobile games, and other applications run more smoothly. MIT researchers have designed a congestion-control scheme for wireless networks…
Research suggests that people may acquire the coronavirus through the air and by touching contaminated surfaces. The virus that causes COVID-19 remains for several hours…
Scientists develop innovative technique to pinpoint coordinates of single atoms. A UCLA-led research team has produced in unprecedented detail experimental three-dimensional maps of the atoms…
Astronomers from UCLA’s Galactic Center Orbits Initiative have discovered a new class of bizarre objects at the center of our galaxy, not far from the…
A team of astronomers has produced a new image of an arc-shaped object in the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The feature, which resembles…
Do supermassive black holes have friends? The nature of galaxy formation suggests that the answer is yes, and in fact, pairs of supermassive black holes…
Rapanui people likely believed the ancient monoliths helped food grow on the Polynesian island, study reveals. Rapa Nui (or Easter Island, as it is commonly…
Researchers create accurate model of organ scarring using stem cells in a lab. Advance could help identify drugs to eventually treat fibrosis. Every organ in…
Microscopy technique is expected to benefit studies in life sciences and biology. A University of California, Los Angeles research team has devised a technique that…
New method used to study planets’ geochemistry implies that Earth is not unique. Earth-like planets may be common in the universe, a new UCLA study…
For years, scientists assumed that mitochondria — the energy-generating centers of living cells — worked much like household batteries, generating energy from a chemical reaction…
UCLA researchers use stem cells to engineer cells that attack human tumors in mice. They’ve been called the “special forces” of the immune system: invariant…
An inexpensive thermoelectric device harnesses the cold of space without active heat input, generating electricity that powers an LED at night, researchers report September 12…
A thermoelectric generator is built whose cold side radiates heat to the sky Night-time power generation of 25 mW/m2 is demonstrated, sufficient for an LED…
UCLA astronomers notice brightest light in 24 years of observations. The enormous black hole at the center of our galaxy is having an unusually large…
In mice, new compound lifts molecular ‘brakes’ that normally slow the regeneration of blood stem cells. A drug developed by UCLA physician-scientists and chemists speeds…
More than 100 years after Albert Einstein published his iconic general theory of relativity, it is beginning to fray at the edges, said Andrea Ghez,…
The center of our galaxy is a frenzy of activity. A behemoth black hole — 4 million times as massive as the sun — blasts…
