Host institution for the research
For years, predictions about how silicon carbide defects shed energy didn't match experiments. University of Chicago researchers now know why. A process called internal conversion, where energy dissipates as atomic vibrations rather than light, plays a far bigger role than earlier models accounted for.

Researchers have shown that exotic quasiparticles called non-Abelian anyons can perform every operation a general-purpose quantum computer needs. Using 54 entangled qubits on Quantinuum's H2 trapped-ion processor, a team from the University of Chicago, Harvard, Stony Brook University, and Quantinuum combined two operations, braiding and fusion, to reach universal computation for the first time in a non-Abelian code.

Leading energy storage research
On December 29, University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory researchers published findings in Nature Nanotechnology that flip battery science on its head. Single-crystal lithium-ion batteries, designed to avoid the grain-boundary cracking that plagued older batteries, are failing anyway — for the exact opposite reason scientists expected.
