The U.S. National Science Foundation has renewed the Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Quantum Sensing for Biophysics and Bioengineering (NSF QuBBE) with a $37.5 million, five-year investment to advance quantum sensing technologies that can reveal biological processes difficult or impossible to observe with conventional tools.

 

AI has now been turned to the sky because astronomers have a scheduling problem—Time on a major telescope is rationed.

The experiment, designed to measure the magnetic moment of the muon, is also sensitive to a particle property called the electric dipole moment.

Scientists say they have detected promising signs that a planet orbiting a star 49 light-years from Earth could have an atmosphere, making it potentially suitable for life.

IBM and researchers from the University of Chicago today announced a demonstration in quantum computing that achieves the fundamental criteria for quantum advantage: performing computations beyond the reach of leading classical simulation methods while providing trust that the computation returned accurate results.

Researchers at the University of Chicago and New York University have revealed a shared mathematical structure between the noise inherent in generative modeling and the quantum fluctuations of atomic nuclei.

Scientists used a new error correction method to crack a classically intractable problem. Prof. Bill Fefferman and his grad student Soumik Ghosh co-authored the paper.

Connecting atomic-scale behavior to larger-scale material properties to predict the performance of real optical devices.

New research from Computer Science explores how digital services could use personal data for specific tasks without requiring people to give up broad control over it.

UChicago researchers, including chemist Chuan He, shed light on how a trans fatty acid increases production of immune cells.

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

The gripper picks up fragile and irregular objects, from raw eggs to scissors, without custom programming or sensors.

Three approaches to the issue of quantum results that can’t be verified classically.

Big Blue is racing to show that its quantum computing business can be profitable following a historic stock tumble.

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?
