As AI-generated music increasingly dominates streaming platforms, Quicksilver, a cutting edge browser extension from SAND Lab, gives listeners the power to identify machine-made tracks in real time. Developed alongside the nonprofit ETCH, the project champions transparency, ethical technology, and support from human creativity in a rapidly evolving digital soundscape.

PhD Graduate Brennan Schaffner receives ACM SIGCHI special recognition award for his research on dark patterns, subsequent interventions, and influence users. 

Breakthrough could speed up new drug discovery.

Detection by Askaryan Radio Array holds promise for future research into sources, nature of cosmic rays and neutrinos. 

How UChicago physicists delayed the formation of viscous fingers between fluids.

Data analyzed by UChicago scientists reveals exoplanet Kua’kua is dark and rocky, offering clues to search for habitable worlds.

Physics grad student Nathaniel Alden found that high-energy particle impacts can produce radio flashes from within Antarctic ice.

Second year PhD student Jiayin Zhi finds that time constraints, as well as when AI access is available, shapes human critical thinking.

Research findings show that writing with AI can reduce gender biases in the workplace and that AI disclosure is complex and can impact authorial perception.

In a paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), a team led by Prof. Laura Gagliardi outlined a new method for excluding water when using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to build carbon capture materials.

A tiny star with almost no metals has just been found in the Milky Way, but it’s from somewhere else entirely.

UChicago Data Science Institute faculty as one of eight teams receiving a Laude Institute Moonshots seed grant.

The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab received the prestigious Breakthrough Prize in fundamental physics for its precision measurement of the muon. Young-Kee Kim attended the ceremony as Emeritus Director of Fermilab.

Researchers, including a Physics postdoc and a Physics grad student, found that a novel qubit platform, invented at Argonne, exhibits noise levels thousands of times lower than those of most traditional qubits. The finding positions the platform as a strong contender in the quantum technology field.
