Colloidal gallium nitride and titanium nitride nanocrystals could enable printed displays and implant coatings.

UChicago chemists show that local, imperfect information can be enough to learn control protocols in several carefully defined systems. What might that mean for biology, and for how we think about AI models of cells?

It may seem counterintuitive that climate changes could bring both floods and dryness, which seem like extremes on opposite ends of the weather spectrum. But they are connected. An op-ed by Elisabeth Moyer.

A proposed White House rule would give political appointees unprecedented control over scientific funding. UChicago physicist David Miller, who helped discover the Higgs boson, explains how the rule would’ve stifled that breakthrough.

UChicago researchers combine AI with statistics and physics to better estimate the odds of rare weather events.

New AI system successfully schedules observations on a major national telescope.

Congratulations to Professor Mark Levin, who has received a 2027 Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award For Organic Synthesis!

While the celestial body seems to host three features that could make a livable environment—an atmosphere, a rocky composition and a temperature that could allow liquid water to sit on the surface—researchers have not currently detected any residents.

The Bloch Quantum Tech Hub has won nearly $55 million to build the nation a quantum supply chain following a US Economic Development Administration award that positions the Illinois-Wisconsin-Indiana region as the center of quantum manufacturing.

A multi-institution team says warming Mars is feasible; finding out whether life exists there must come first.

Artificial intelligence is advancing at a remarkable pace. For faculty who teach the next generation of data scientists, keeping up with that pace requires more than reading papers or attending conferences. It means seeing how innovation unfolds where it is happening.

AI-powered PoLARIS Project will execute science experiments remotely, allowing underserved researchers across the nation access to create novel soft materials from afar.

UChicago tests lifted rice harvests up using plants’ own protein, with implications for other crops.

Federal award unlocks millions in state and private sector contributions, positioning Midwest to lead U.S. quantum manufacturing.

Assistant Professor Daniil Rudenko was awarded a fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in the School of Mathematics for the 2026–27 academic year. This prestigious membership allows for focused research and the free and open exchange of ideas among an international community of scholars at one of the foremost centers for intellectual inquiry.
