Researchers Develop New Materials for Truly Stretchable OLED Screens
Researchers at the University of Chicago have created new materials that make OLED displays fully stretchable. Their key advance is an aluminium electrode embedded in a gallium–indium alloy, allowing it to “crackle” and self-heal under strain as liquid metal fills emerging gaps. Alongside this, a newly designed stretchy conductive polymer mai...

New Analysis Weakens Claims of Life on Distant Exoplanet K2-18b
A new study led by University of Chicago researchers has reanalyzed James Webb Space Telescope data and found weaker evidence for potential biosignatures on exoplanet K2-18b. Earlier reports had suggested the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a chemical associated with marine life on Earth. However, the latest analysis reveals that the signals ar...

How Rainwater Helped Stabilise Early Cells, Enabling Life's Complexity on Earth
Recent research led by Aman Agrawal, in collaboration with experts from the University of Chicago and University of Houston, uncovers the potential role rainwater played in stabilising protocells on early Earth. Their findings show how this helped prevent RNA leakage and uncontrolled mixing, allowing the formation of stable genetic material. This n...

'Glaze' Software Can Thwart Copycat AI Tools From Stealing Artist Styles, Researchers Say
Glaze, a free software tool released by researchers at the University of Chicago, can protect an artist's style from being copied by generative artificial intelligence (AI) services. The software makes small changes to digital images — invisible to the human eye — that act as a "style cloak" when they are posted online, according to the researc...

Smartwatches Could Help Detect Emerging Health Problems Using AI, Skin-Like Electronics, Study Shows
Researchers are developing skin-like electronics that could work with artificial intelligence (AI) to potentially detect problems such as heart disease, cancer or multiple sclerosis before obvious symptoms appear. They have developed a skin-like neuromorphic "chip" that consists of a thin film of a plastic semiconductor combined with stretchable go...
