New infrared light sources mark 100-fold efficiency boost, could improve broad range of sensors, technology.

Greg Engel and Julian Solway are leading the new UChicago Berggren Center to bring quantum tools into the clinic. In a Q&A, they explain what that means for patients.

Analyzing NOAA's billion-dollar weather disaster database, a UChicago-led study projects sharply rising costs driven by climate change and expanding development.

The workshop convened researchers to discuss progress on AI models, tools and data commons for applying AI to biology, medicine, and healthcare.

A University of Chicago–led team launched NASA’s Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO) experiment via balloon above Antarctica, aiming to detect elusive, ultra-high-energy neutrinos. 

New approach may help shed light on turbulence, other stubborn natural mysteries.

UChicago scientists clock a driving factor in the evolution of error correction.

New research by David Awschalom reveals quantum computing is nearing the point of practical use, but scientists still need to make some specific breakthroughs.

Researchers developed RADAR, an AI-powered framework that links gravitational wave detections with radio afterglow data from neutron star mergers. By analyzing data at supercomputing centers, respecting data access limits, and automating coordination, RADAR enables faster, scalable multi-messenger astronomy, demonstrated using GW170817.

Learn about the latest model of Jupiter's deep atmosphere that reveals how much oxygen the planet contains.

Data from the XRISM satellite has for the first time revealed that supermassive black holes create their own 'storms' of hot gas, stirring up the environment and dominating the evolution of galaxies.

Jupiter’s deep interior is unreachable, so scientists used advanced models combining chemistry and atmospheric motion. The study finds Jupiter has 1–1.5× the Sun’s oxygen, slow vertical mixing, and high carbon levels, revealing clues to how gas giants form.

Unique UChicago-led instrument PUEO caught a ride aboard a NASA balloon in search of high-energy neutrinos.

UChicago paleontologists investigate how life entered and adapted to the deep sea.

B. B. Cael reveals the quantity of extreme weather events, and their impacts correlated with human development as well as climate change.
