A new study provides insights into cleaning up noise in quantum entanglement
Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME), University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Microsoft have shown that it is fundamentally impossible to design a single one-size-fits-all protocol to counteract the...
Computational tool predicts materials for new energy economy
Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Department of Chemistry have developed a new computational tool that predicts which metal-organic frameworks will be most stable for a given need, such as catalyzing reactions to...
Bridging Medicine and Machine Learning: Predicting Skin Cancer in Resource-Limited Settings
M.D./Ph.D. Candidate Steven Song and collaborators Spencer Ellis and Derek Reiman designed a machine learning model able to predict non-melanoma skin cancer under resource-limited settings. Preventing and curing cancer has been a topic of immense research and...
AI helps scientists design better sensors for pollutants and beyond
UChicago PME researchers used a brain-inspired neural network to optimize the design process of chemical sensors for the first time Designing a sensor to detect miniscule levels of a chemical — whether it is an environmental toxin, a disease biomarker, or something...
