A team led by Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Professor Huimin Zhao has received a Phase I award through the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission to develop the world's first foundation models specifically designed for metabolic engineering.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission met with representatives from U. of I. and NANO Nuclear to mark the start of its review of the Construction Permit Application for a campus microreactor.

The modular reactor generates ammonia with nitrogen and water instead of hydrogen, with the ultimate goal of turning air, water and electricity into food using as few resources as possible.

The Wall Street Journal spotlighted Chicago's quantum computing ambitions and the University of Illinois' pivotal role in the region's emergence as a global hub for the technology.

World Cup players will wear friction-engineered shoes made with microstructure technology from the lab of Grainger Engineering Professor Bill King.

The researchers estimate that if used to cool an entire data center, the technology would contribute only around 1.1% of the data center’s total energy usage compared to more than 30% for conventional air-cooling methods.
