UCLA researchers received a $1 million grant to develop a new method for identifying air particulates, which may be useful in combating climate change.
The grant, which the researchers received from the National Science Foundation in August, is part of a larger series of funding to promote quantum technology and research, according to the NSF.

UCLA researchers are expanding their digital registry for depression research recruitment beyond campus into the greater Los Angeles area.
Created over a year ago, the registry is a collaboration between the UCLA Depression Grand Challenge – an initiative focused on cutting the global burden of depression in half by 2050 – and the UCLA Center for SMART Health, which aims to transform health care through the integration of new technology.
