A research team led by a University of Chicago paleontologist has developed a mathematical model that could resolve the conflict between the molecular clock and fossil record methods of charting mammalian evolution.
The current decline in welfare caseloads has been very rapid, especially since the 1996 welfare reform act, yet other problems such as continued poverty and economic insecurity are still common among former welfare recipients and are likely to increase, according to experts associated with the Northwestern University/University of Chicago Joint Center for Poverty Research.
Coral reefs will become a casualty of the industrialized world's growing carbon dioxide emissions by the middle of the next century, according to a study published in the April 2 issue of the journal Science.
The system-wide effort to improve student performance in Chicago public high schools is yielding promising results, yet skepticism among teachers may impede long-term success, according to a new study published by researchers affiliated with the Department of Education and the University of Chicago.
A research team led by physicists at the University of Chicago report that they have developed the most sensitive magnetic sensors ever for extremely large fields.
Unique artifacts unearthed this season in Syria will force historians and archaeologists to rewrite the history books, because the traditional view of how civilization developed is looking increasingly wrong.
A significant number of organisms that survived the five greatest mass extinctions in Earth's history subsequently failed to achieve evolutionary success.
Although many people would like to think that their babies are bright enough to count before their first birthday, and some child psychologists have suggested they can, that possibility is disputed by the results of a 10-year evaluation by leading scholars at the University of Chicago.
Using a radio telescope at the National Science Foundation's South Pole station, University of Chicago astrophysicists have measured a minute polarization of the cosmic microwave background, the afterglow of the big bang. The discovery verifies the framework that supports modern cosmological theory.
University of Chicago chemists have successfully synthesized an electronic component the size of a single molecule that could prove crucial in the continuing push to miniaturize electronic devices. The component, called a molecular diode, restricts current flow to one direction between electronic devices.
