Recent observations suggest that dark energy is changing over time. Theorists wonder if dark matter is, too. Article features research by KICP Associate Fellow Georges Obied.

ATLAS probes top-antitop quark interactions near threshold. 

The R&D effort focuses on exploring the utilization of a streaming link between the custom Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based hardware boards planned to be used during HL-LHC, and a high-performance GPU-enabled processing farm. With this architecture, the R&D effort led by CERN Openlab, University of Chicago, and UCL scientists will allow the real-time analysis of the full data stream by deploying powerful models like Convolutional Auto-Encoders (CAEs), temporal Convolutional Neural Networks (TCCN), and transformer-based models, which are planned to be tested with the prototype hardware.

Discovering the physical principles of superconductivity in diamond opens the door for scientists to use it in new quantum technologies
 

Researchers are starting to explore the tools and systems we need to develop to cool down the planet.

How an innovative UChicago laboratory built a fast-moving platform to target "undruggable" cancer proteins and train the next generation of scientific leaders. 

Researchers say a lack of reliable information on artificial intelligence use on campus could lead to misguided policies.

Are you familiar with pop tubes? Resembling the corrugated section of a bendy straw, they are at the core of PopTuber, an intriguing research project from the Actuated Experience Lab at the University of Chicago.

A new tool born from a community partnership is supporting Native voters to navigate an ID system that wasn't built with them in mind.

Have we reached a point where AI agents can reliably function as scientific collaborators? Can they go one step further and work as autonomous scientists?

A chemical engineer noticed that the spectra of the hazy atmosphere of mini-Neptune planets looked like the soot produced by combustion engines.

Called the BloomBeacon, the project features two soft and flexible blades for the purposes of creating a touchable holographic display.

Analysis by UChicago scientists suggests 'mini-Neptune' exoplanets may have smoggy atmospheres with similar chemistry as diesel exhaust.

New research by Assistant Professor Alex Kale and collaborators Yier Ling and Alex Imas finds that social desirability bias may lead students to underreport how often they use AI due to shame and peer pressure.

The “coastline paradox” helped to define fractals, but coastlines themselves turn out to be less fractal than thought. Study led by  CCAM PhD student Matthew Oline.
