Imagine having a wiring diagram of the brain — of its 100 billion neurons and their quadrillions of connections. What would that reveal to us about human cognition, disease, and even life itself? That sort of huge undertaking is now conceivable, thanks to advances in...
E-truck charging stations could power the transportation system of the future. Researchers at UChicago and Argonne calculated how much this might cost. By 2030, more than half of all new vehicle sales are expected to be all electric. But passenger vehicles only...
In 2007, a new leadership training initiative for scientists at Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory launched as a small pilot project. This fall, the training initiative kicked off its latest cohort as a highly sought-after program...
Supported by the JTFI, the Strategic Program for Innovation at the National Labs (SPIN) kicked off in March with 17 scientists and staff from Argonne and Fermilab. Through lectures and group simulation exercises taught by University of Chicago and Booth School of...
A JTFI program recently launched through the UChicago Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation supports two researchers at Argonne and Fermilab through courses, accelerators, and access to MBA students and accomplished mentors who allow fellows to explore...
If a tree falls in the forest, and only artificial intelligence is listening, is a data point recorded? Such questions have become pertinent to a collaborative research project by scientists from the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory and the...
