The University of Chicago announced a new partnership with AI Research Commons, Microsoft, and NVIDIA to support and accelerate early-stage artificial intelligence startups emerging from Midwest research institutions.

Marking the centenary of the Schrödinger equation, the 2026 award honors Gagliardi’s transformative work in climate solutions and multireference quantum theory.

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.

Congratulations to Chuan He, the John T. Wilson Distinguished Service Professor in Chemistry and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, who has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

Congratulations to Frank Calegari, Professor and Associate Chair of Mathematics, who has been named a 2026 Simons Fellow in Mathematics.

Congratulations to Peter McCullagh, the John D. MacArthur Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in Statistics, who has been awarded the Guy Medal in Gold from the Royal Statistical Society.

Neubauer Family Assistant Professor Anna Wuttig's work in sustainable electrocatalysis earns national recognition.

UChicago chemists “film” long-range light-matter hybrid particles.

An AI-powered suit created by UChicago researchers combines a wearable electrode suit, smart glasses with a built-in camera, a motion-tracking layer, and a multimodal AI model capable of processing both vision and language, the same class of technology as GPT-4.1. The suit physically moves a user's muscles in real time, adapting to whatever task is in front of them, with no pre-programmed routine required.
