UChicago researchers use machine learning method to enhance memory model.

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), 40 million collisions occur every second, but we can store only a few thousand. Choosing which events to keep is irreversible, and shifting beam conditions mean the right decision threshold rarely holds for long. Interview with Yuxin Chen.

Leaders from UChicago, IBM and more converged at Hyde Park Labs for a symposium bringing together researchers and industry members

On October 21st, students from the University of Chicago’s MS in Applied Data Science (MS-ADS) program boarded a bus for a day of professional development and industry exploration.

Bringing his expertise in optimization theory to the role of Assistant Professor of Statistics and Data Science, Mateo Díaz works to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Four new full-time faculty joined the Data Science Institute for the 2026-27 academic year, expanding DSI education and research efforts. Three arrived on campus this year, and one will join in Autumn 2027.

The UChicago PME and Chemistry Department professor was presented the prestigious honor at a ceremony in Rome on Thursday.

Ka Yee C. Lee—former provost, sometime singer, and forever scientist—hopes to nurture discovery in the Physical Sciences Division.

Instead of losing our heads about killer robots, we should apply some simple engineering principles. An op-ed by Hank Hoffmann.

A team of UChicago and Yale astronomers have discovered two new “satellites” orbiting the Milky Way.

The American Chemical Society and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation announced the inaugural cohort of the program, which includes Muqing Yu, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics and the James Franck Institute.

Statistician Aaron Schein and Chris Wolfram, PhD student in Computer Science, use LLMs to extract information from the Babylonian Astronomical Diaries, verifying the LLM’s output with a Bayesian Model that knows the correct positions of the Moon, planets, and stars in the ancient night sky.

The cosmic microwave background is the faint residual light from the very beginnings of the universe. It’s often referred to as the afterglow of the Big Bang.

At over 13 billion years old, it is the oldest light in the universe—which makes it a tantalizing object of study for scientists seeking clues about our origins.

A first-principles framework from UChicago PME researchers sheds light on the utility of spin defects as qubits and could help design materials for energy conversion and storage.
