UCLA Engineers Observe Quantum Heat Waves at Room Temperature
Efficient heat management in solids is key to advancing the next generation of electronics. However, wavelike heat movement — known as phonon focusing — had only been observed at extremely low, or cryogenic, temperatures, limiting its study and practical use
Biomedical Imaging, Autonomous Vehicle Sensors May Get Boost from AI Designed for Physical Signals
A research team led by UCLA and the University of Rochester has demonstrated a promising evolution of an imaging system designed to capture details within “complex media,” which scatter light, from depicting structures inside body tissue to seeing obstacles through heavy fog
From Homemade Cooking in Santa Barbara to Lab Research in Switzerland: Bioengineering Undergrad Brings Global Perspective to Healthy Living
In the Santa Barbara home where Margherita Scussat and her younger brother grew up, their Italian-immigrant parents regularly made tomato sauce from scratch and whipped up nutritious plates of fish and fresh vegetables
UCLA Aerospace Engineering Alum Named to Forbes 30 Under 30 for Work Reducing Air Pollution
Selene Sari ’18 wants to make clean air easier to capture — but instead of reinventing the air filter, she’s tackling contaminants themselves
UCLA Engineers Shrink Powerful Terahertz Systems onto a Single Semiconductor Chip
Terahertz waves have major potential in high-speed communication, imaging, security screening and sensing, but are still underused due to complex and bulky systems
New Process Turns Mixed Plastic Waste Directly Into Hydrogen Fuel Without Sorting
Plastic has become a ubiquitous part of modern life — in water bottles, shopping bags and car dashboards. But once discarded, it is among the hardest materials on earth to recycle.
