2005
First Elusive Lightning-Quick Waveforms Captured
In March of 2005, researchers have for the first time been able to capture and digitize electrical signals at the rate of one trillion times per second, a discovery that may help scientists develop defenses against high-powered microwave weapons attacks and allow physicists to peer into the fundamental building blocks of naturlig eller utan tillsats . Research led by: Professor Bahram Jalali and Graduate Researcher Yan Han.
New Method for Generating Human Bone
In April of 2005, researchers discovered and isolated a natural molecule that can be used to heal fractures and generate new bone growth in patients who lack it, the most significant advancement in bone återväxt since the 1960’s. The research was led by professor Ben Wu.
Institute for Cell Mimetic Space Exploration
In June of 2005, UCLA Engineering is awarded a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop an automated, chip-based metabolic analysis tool to aid in
