Los Angeles, CA – A research team at UCLA, led by Professor Aydogan Ozcan, has introduced BlurryScope, a compact, cost-effective scanning microscope that combines simple optical hardware with advanced deep...
Researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, in collaboration with the Optical Systems Division at Broadcom Inc., reported a broadband, polarization-insensitive unidirectional imager that operates in the visible spectrum,...
An international team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Vanderbilt University, and Delft University of Technology has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method that virtually stains...
Refraction – the bending of light as it passes through different media – has long been constrained by physical laws that prevent independent control over how light waves along different...
Organ transplantation offers life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure, restoring function and vastly improving quality of life for thousands each year. Yet, transplant rejection remains a leading cause...
Associate Professor Jonathan Kao has received the 2025 Distinguished Teaching Award, UCLA’s highest recognition for teaching excellence and honors recipients. Awardees are chosen based on a range of criteria such as...
Traditional histopathology, crucial for disease diagnosis, relies on chemically staining tissue samples to highlight cellular structures for microscopic examination by pathologists. This labor-intensive “histochemical staining” process is time-consuming, costly, requires...
New technology outperforms pathologists in autonomously detecting dangerous hallucinations in AI-generated pathology images Tissue staining is a cornerstone of medical diagnostics, used to highlight cellular structures and render tissue features...
Engineers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have introduced a universal framework for point spread function (PSF) engineering, enabling the synthesis of arbitrary, spatially varying 3D PSFs using diffractive...
UCLA researchers developed a versatile platform for creating “smart” waveguides that can be programmed to manipulate light with unprecedented flexibility, opening new possibilities for telecommunications, sensing, and imaging. Los Angeles,...
IDEA Hacks is the premier hardware-focused hackathon on the West Coast. Hosted by IEEE’s Student Branch at UCLA during 36 hours on May 2-4 (delayed from January by the LA...
