Ziwan Xu, an alumna of the Department of Chemistry, is spotlighted in Nature for her innovative research in radiosensitizers and sustained-release drug delivery.

Watch UChicago alum and Nobel Prize winner John Jumper deliver the Bloch Lecture, discussing how he led a team to build AlphaFold—an AI-based model with enormous impact on protein structure prediction.

In a multi-year project led by engineers and scientists at Fermilab’s Illinois Accelerator Research Center, Fermilab worked with Euclid Techlabs to test a new, slightly conductive ceramic for use in a key accelerator component called a radio frequency window.
 

Recent advancements at the ATLAS user facility are enhancing operations and efficiency to help unlock new insights into the universe’s fundamental forces.
 

Bill Fefferman develops a new use for a quantum algorithm once thought to be useless to protect against quantum computers. 

Two previous students of Professor Peter May, Weinan Lin, PhD'21, and Zhouli Xu, PhD'17, worked on a new proof representing the culmination of a 65-year-old story about anomalous shapes in special dimensions.

Argonne National Laboratory swapped out a key component in its liquid metal test loop for a new class of reactors. 
 

Congratulations to the 2025 recipient of the Arthur L. Kelly Faculty Prize: Andrew J. Campbell!
