Current Research Highlights
Breakthrough from a team led by Jacob Covey, associate professor in the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Department of Physics, turns helium-3’s low mass into a quantum resource.
New insights into how ions move through solids can have applications from batteries to microelectronics to water filters.
A research team found a quantum phenomenon in a two-dimensional magnet that could be relevant for memory storage.
A research team at the University of Chicago and NYU used experiments and molecular simulations to better understand how polymer backbone design affects the performance of ion-exchange membranes.
Research suggests that an engineered bacteria strain may be a powerful approach for improving treatment response in pancreatic cancer.
A less-explored form of quantum code could be more powerful – and more stable – than its popular alternative in error correction.
