An aerospace engineering doctoral student has been awarded a NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship (NSTRF), to investigate and develop a miniature ion thruster for in-space propulsion.

The UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science welcomes nine new faculty members in 2017-18 to a roster that includes 35 affiliated members of the National Academy of Engineering and more than 60 winners of the NSF CAREER Award. The school now has 179 ladder faculty members, the most in its history.

Researchers at the UCLA School of Dentistry and UCLA Engineering found in a clinical trial that nanodiamonds protected disinfected root canals after the nerve and pulp were removed, thereby improving the likelihood of a full recovery. The findings are a milestone for the use of nanodiamonds in humans.

UCLA Engineering has received a four-year, $2-million grant from the National Science Foundation to explore secure quantum communications and memory.

Engineers from the University of Washington and UCLA have developed a flexible sensor “skin” to accurately convey information about shear forces and vibration to grasp, manipulate objects

A team of UCLA electrical and computer engineering faculty are part of a major Army Research Laboratory-funded initiative to develop an internet of things tailored to the specific challenges of the battlefield

Shaily Mahendra, a UCLA associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and a Samueli Fellow, has received the 2017 Paul L. Busch Award from the nonprofit Water Environment & Reuse Foundation.

UCLA biophysicists have developed a new method to rapidly determine a single cell’s stiffness and size — which could ultimately lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases.

Researchers from UCLA, Iowa State University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have discovered an effective drug combination that could optimize the eradication of roundworms, common agricultural parasites that infect livestock.
