AI-powered robotic labs at UChicago, Argonne receive $20 million NSF grant
6+ hour, 41+ min ago (530+ words) But creating these new materials—including a range of liquids, polymers, gels, colloids, foams and granular materials—is slow, expensive and largely manual. A $20 million grant will remove many of these barriers, developing a remotely accessible, robot-operated laboratory where researchers…...
UChicago Prof. Yu Deng receives Fields Medal, highest honor in mathematics
1+ week, 4+ day ago (1566+ words) University of Chicago mathematics Prof. Yu Deng has received the Fields Medal for his contributions toward placing the laws of physics on a rigorous mathematical foundation. The Fields Medal, announced today at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia, is…...
Argonne marks 80 years of scientific discovery
1+ week, 5+ day ago (308+ words) In 1946, the United States was on the cusp of a new energy age. Chartered to study peaceful uses for atomic power, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory helped usher in that pivotal era. Just over five years after…...
Scientists pair AI and human knowledge to tackle notoriously difficult physics question
5+ mon, 2+ week ago (851+ words) The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are governed by the same laws of physics, and give rise to a complex phenomenon known as turbulence....
Mapping surprise in the human mind, with help from AI
6+ mon, 5+ day ago (905+ words) We build AI systems to mimic the human brain: writing emails, answering questions and predicting what comes next. But new research aims to turn that relationship around—using large language models (LLMs) to explore how our brains anticipate and process…...
‘AI advisor’ helps scientists steer autonomous labs
6+ mon, 1+ week ago (425+ words) While these labs have generated heated debate about whether humans or machines should lead scientific research, a new paper from Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) has proposed a novel answer:…...
Fully automated lab system learns to grow materials on its own
8+ mon, 1+ week ago (523+ words) By Sarah C.P. Williams When scientists make the thin metal films used in electronics, optics and quantum technologies, they usually spend months tinkering with the temperature, composition and timing of the process, hoping to land on just the right recipe. Now,…...
