The 2025 Global Google PhD Fellowships recognize 255 outstanding graduate students across 35 countries who are conducting ...

Fittingly, Matthew Casey’s “dinner party description” of his research in computational social choice can be framed through ...

A new computational framework developed by a team with Professor Chris Wolverton maps atomic ordering to unlock ...

Traditional chemotherapy drugs like 5-fluorouracil are poorly soluble, inefficient at reaching cancer cells, and cause severe side effects by damaging healthy tissue. In a promising advance for cancer ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Northwestern Engineering’s Justin Notestein and Michael Beltran are the 2025 recipients of the Masahiro and Eiko Meshii Award. The honor recognizes faculty members for excellence in design education.

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) make up about 30 percent of our proteome. They are important to many fundamental aspects of biology and disrupted in disease. Since they lack a stable shape, ...

Responsive materials that morph and adapt like biological systems are non-trivial to design and manufacture. Researchers developed a co-design framework that unites AI, physics, and 3D printing into ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

Current cell therapies like CAR-T cells lack the precision to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue, leading to limited effectiveness and potential side effects. One of the most significant ...
