A new collaborative study, involving UChicago associate professor Pedram Hassanzadeh, discusses the critical and evolving role of machine learning in the study of climate science.

In this episode of Freakonomics Radio, UChicago's Ben Zhao speaks on how he learned that artists were seeing their work stolen by A.I. models and his evolving project to fight back against such copyright infringements.

UChicago Associate Professor of Computer Science Pedro Lopes leads the Human-Computer Integration Lab. In this new interview, Lopes and his team show the potential of new technologies and AI to help enhance peoples' capabilities.

In a recent study, CS Assistant Professor Mina Lee collaborated with scientists from universities around the world to explore the role of Bayesian frameworks in the design of complementary AI.

A new study has found a novel way to understand the ancestry of supermassive black holes. UChicago researcher Thomas Callister participated in the newly published research.

UChicago chemist Laura Gagliardi and a collaborator at the University of Minnesota have developed and refined a theory that makes it feasible to study larger quantum systems. Now, they have advanced that theory with a new method that achieves high accuracy without the steep computational cost of other advanced methods.

Observations with the South Pole Telescope have revealed an independent addition to the biggest problem in cosmology. Tom Crawford, a UChicago astronomy Research Professor, is co-author of the study.

When William Irvine’s team put tiny magnetic particles in a fluid-filled chamber and spun them around, something unexpected happened. They began to flock together, splitting and merging like a school of fish. When they put lots of those particles in to swim, the suspension became a new phase of matter.

A trio of scientists from UChicago and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel has put forth a new model that pushes the terrestrial biosphere's lifetime out to 1.7 billion years.

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said. 

“The consequences could be globally disastrous,” said Jack Szostak, who helped write a 299-page technical report on the risks of the research.

University of Chicago Computer Science Seymour Goodman Professor Fred Chong is part of a national team building software to manage quantum noise, an increasingly relevant problem due to the rapid development of quantum computing technologies.

Saturdays with CSIL (Computer Science Instructional Laboratory) focuses on exposing Chicago Public School high school students to computer science at an introductory level, as some CPS students have limited access to CS classes.

Fourth-year PhD student Kelly Wagman, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and the Greater Chatham Initiative, develops a community-based app that bridges the gap between the residents’ and the scientists’ needs for flood-reporting resources and data.

Scientists from UChicago created a new way to study snoRNAs, showing they may serve a surprisingly broad range of functions across many cell types.

A collaboration between computer engineers and AI specialists at Microsoft and UChicago resulted in the creation of a new language that allows large language models (LLMs) to communicate more efficiently.
