A new assessment tool that leverages powerful artificial intelligence was able to predict whether participants exhibited suicidal thoughts and behaviors using a quick and simple combination of variables.

Called the Midwest Nuclear DAC Hub (MINDAC), the Northwestern-led program will unite a diverse group of research and commercial partner institutions to test the feasibility of using a zero-emission nuclear fleet to power air handling units that remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased interest in wearable health-monitoring devices among low-income Hispanic and Latine adults living in the U.S.

Audiences will enjoy eleven debuts in the 2024-25 concert season as Northwestern University’s Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music resumes its four guest artist subscription series which include the Skyline Piano Series, Segovia Classical Guitar Series, Winter Chamber Music Festival, and Keyboard Conversations.

Most people have heard the famous phrase “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Now, Northwestern University researchers have used statistical physics to confirm the theory that underlies this famous axiom.

A new study by Northwestern University researchers and coworkers explains a puzzling problem with maps of future earthquake shaking used to design earthquake-resistant buildings.

In a new Northwestern University study, the catalyst successfully converted carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide (CO), an important building block to produce a variety of useful chemicals.

Northwestern engineers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm designed specifically for smart robotics. By helping robots rapidly and reliably learn complex skills, the new method could significantly improve the practicality — and safety — of robots for a range of applications, including self-driving cars, delivery drones, household assistants and automation.

A new Northwestern Medicine study helps explain how changes in the SCN2A gene — a known cause of infantile seizures, autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability — affect whether or not a child will develop autism or epilepsy, the age at which seizures start for those with epilepsy and the severity of the child's other impairments.

Men with prostate cancer who are treated with radiation therapy experience significant side effects such as fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety and depressive symptoms. But listening to mindfulness audio recordings significantly eased those symptoms, a new Northwestern Medicine study has found.
