Members of the coalition — called the Southeast Neighbors For Quantum — expressed a desire to not let South Chicago’s chance ...

IonQ and the University of Chicago Sign Landmark Agreement to Establish IonQ Center for Engineering and Science to Accelerate Quantum Research and Commercialization Partnership marks the first time a ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

Leaders from harm reduction advocacy organizations discussed drug policy and the harm reduction movement in Chicago at an event hosted by the UChicago Harm Reduction Project and the Pozen Family ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

By the time Jerry Whirley heard that a $9 billion quantum-computing campus was coming a few blocks from his South Shore home, most of what he actually needed from his neighborhood, like ...

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and used quantum computing methods to confirm its exotic structure. The molecule, ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.
