Engineers at the University of Chicago have used a diamond defect called a nitrogen vacancy center to clear a path toward better quantum computers and…
Physicists show that the anticrystal, a theoretical solid that is completely disordered, should undergird our understanding of most materials. For the last century, the concept…
New maps from the Fermi-LAT Collaboration show that the galactic center produces more high-energy gamma rays than can be explained by known sources, suggesting that…
A new study shows that the IRX3 gene controls body mass and regulates body composition, and appears to be the functional obesity gene. Mutations within…
A newly published study reveals that the odds of Super-Earth exoplanets having an Earth-like climate are much greater than previously thought. Massive terrestrial planets, called…
Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers from the University of Chicago have detected clear evidence of clouds in the atmosphere of exoplanet GJ1214b….
Researchers are working to create a modular, artificial upper limb that will restore natural motor control and sensation in amputees. New research at the University…
Using ultracold cesium atoms in a vacuum chamber, scientists have successfully simulated the evolution of the early universe. Physicists have reproduced a pattern resembling the…
A scientist from the University of Chicago may have discovered the solution to a 135-year-old meteorite mystery, revealing that chondrules may have formed from high-pressure…
Researchers from the University of Chicago and Northwestern University have published a new study that used computer simulations of cloud behavior to help suggest that…
New research from the University of Leeds and University of Chicago reveals a model of Sun’s magnetic field. Researchers at the Universities of Leeds and…
Aided by technology, astronomers at the University of Chicago search for far-off planets like Earth. When astronomers discovered planet GJ 1214b circling a star more…
By testing meteorites, a team of scientists discovered that levels of iron 60 were uniform and low in early solar system material, suggesting that that…
An international team of scientists has conclusively demonstrated a connection between white dwarf stars that fail to completely detonate and a class of oddly dim…
Pegomastax africanus is a new species of plant-eating dinosaur with tiny, 1-inch-long (2.5-centimeter-long) jaws, which was discovered in South Africa. It thrived during the Lower…
A new paper from David Mazziotti, a professor in chemistry at the University of Chicago, solves what specialists call the “N-representability problem,” how to compute…
Using computational tools that reversed the effect of gravitational lensing, scientists were able see what a galaxy looked like 10 billion years ago. Gravity from…
