AI helps molecular engineers design custom plastics

AI helps molecular engineers design custom plastics

National Laboratories, Physical Sciences

Imagine a plastic bag that can carry home your groceries, then quickly degrade without harming the environment. Or a super-strong, lightweight plastic for airplanes, rockets, and satellites that can replace traditional structural metals in aerospace technologies....
UChicago chemists invent way to customize compounds just a few atoms thick

UChicago chemists invent way to customize compounds just a few atoms thick

Physical Sciences

Changing the chemistry of a compound is difficult by itself, but modifying materials only a few atoms thick is its own challenge. A group of University of Chicago scientists announced an innovative method to tailor the surface groups of a class of compounds known as...

A handheld COVID-19 test could deliver results in five minutes—for just $10

Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Medicine, Physical Sciences

Accurate and widespread testing is crucial to managing the coronavirus pandemic, but many people in the U.S. still can’t get tested for COVID-19 without visiting designated sites. A new research project could lead to a solution: an affordable, at-home test that offers...
Researchers develop a faster, better way to disinfect N95 masks for reuse

Researchers develop a faster, better way to disinfect N95 masks for reuse

National Laboratories, Physical Sciences

A team of University of Chicago researchers has developed a better, faster way to decontaminate N95 masks using ultraviolet light—potentially saving thousands of the sought-after masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The system is currently in use at the hospital at the...
