Concrete slowly absorbs small amounts of carbon dioxide from the air over its lifetime, a natural process sometimes proposed as a solution to the cement industry's heavy carbon footprint

Nearly two dozen UCLA Samueli School of Engineering students and alumni have received the National Science Foundation’s 2026 Graduate Research Fellowship

Wei Wang, a professor and chair of the Computer Science Department at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, has received the Innovation Award from the Association for Computing Machinery, the world’s largest professional computing society

Most batteries spend more than 70% of their lifetime at rest. Yet few studies have examined calendar aging, which is how a battery degrades when it is neither charging nor being used.

A UCLA-led team of physicists, engineers and computer scientists has been selected by the U.S. National Science Foundation for $4 million in funding through the NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory, or NQVL, a national initiative designed to accelerate the development of useful quantum technologies and make advanced quantum tools and testbeds available to researchers across the country

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

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

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

Selene Sari '18 wants to make clean air easier to capture — but instead of reinventing the air filter, she’s tackling contaminants themselves

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.

Eric Bescher, an associate adjunct professor of materials science and engineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, represented the University of California system at a transportation research showcase May 19 in Washington, D.C.

Three pairs of doctoral students at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have been awarded the 2026 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowships for North America to support their research into autonomous vehicles and next-generation semiconductor technologies

Steven Chavez, an assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, has been selected as one of Scientific American’s inaugural class of Young American Scientists for improving the effectiveness of catalysts used industrial processes

Judea Pearl, a chancellor’s professor emeritus of computer science at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, has been named one of 50 AI Pioneers by nonprofit think tank Boston Global Forum and its AI World Society initiative

UCLA scientists are calling for a large-scale initiative to understand how human cells influence one another — a missing layer of biology that could reveal how cellular interactions drive disease and inform new therapies

Electric fields control the flow of charge in modern electronic chips, powering computers, smartphones and other devices. But as chips continue to shrink, this approach is reaching its physical limits.

Nearly 1,900 engineering and computer science students — 1,111 bachelor’s degree candidates on June 13 and 777 master’s and doctoral candidates on June 14 — walked across the stage to the applause of more than 11,000 family members and guests

When first-year mechanical engineering student Christine Xu eased the Bruin Supermileage Vehicle up a 12-degree incline at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this spring, three of her teammates had to push the car up the ramp by hand

Born and raised in India, Vinita Gupta M.S. ’74 earned her bachelor’s degree in electronics and communications engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 1973 before coming to the U.S.

Graduating mechanical engineering student Ereni Delis still remembers the first time her grandmother, whom she affectionately calls “yiayia,” the Greek word for grandmother, visited UCLA
