Turning cars into wireless network nodes: Everyday, our cars are using more computing technology, primarily for safety reasons. So why not turning them into computer nodes of a mobile network? This is what UCLA engineers are working on. According to them, this would just need the relatively low-cost addition of sensors to the vehicle's roof and...; Tags: Wireless &, Telecom, Engineering &, Innovation, Computers &, Internet; Blog posts 2007-06-03
A microscopic alphabet soup: UCLA researchers have produced microscale particles shaped like each letter of the alphabet. Theyve used lithoparticles -- microscale and nanoscale particles that can have a wide range of material compositions -- to create this microscopic alphabet. They even can choose a specific font to create these colloidal letters, made of...; Tags: cell, University of California at Los Angeles; Blog posts 2007-03-22
A 2-nanometer-high Solomon's knot: UCLA chemists have built a molecular Solomons knot at the nanoscale. The Solomons knot is composed of two rings that interlace each other four times, with alternating crossing points that go over, under, over and under as one traces around each of the rings. This nano-version is roughly 2 nanometers...; Tags: Nanotechnology, Science &, Nature, Engineering &, Innovation, University of California at Los Angeles, J. Fraser Stoddart; Blog posts 2007-01-14
800,000 UCLA records compromised in data breach: In yet another cautionary tale to universities to beef up database security, hackers compromised as many as 800,000 records of personal information, making UCLA the victim of the largest computer security breach ever at an American university.

Taming a protein with a nanostring: UCLA physicists have developed a new approach to protein engineering by using molecular strings to control chemical mechanisms. They demonstrated how an enzyme could be physically controlled by a nanodevice -- a molecular spring made of DNA -- attached to it. In fact, they changed the structure of a protein...; Tags: cell, protein; Blog posts 2006-06-15
Inside Mars rocks in 3-D: Researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles UCLA have found a way to produce 3-D images of microfossils embedded in rocks.
