Residential wood burning is a major but underrecognized source of wintertime PM2.5 air pollution, disproportionately harming urban communities and people of color despite relatively low wood use.

Natural biological systems cannot efficiently convert waste CO₂ or its derivatives into useful building-block chemicals at a scale that can keep pace with rising atmospheric carbon. Engineer a fully ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

At a time when medical technology breakthroughs often stall long before reaching patients, Northwestern University’s Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics (QSIB) has become a striking exception ...

Restoring lost senses or delivering precise brain signals has required invasive hardware and can’t mimic the brain’s natural, distributed activity patterns. This platform shows the brain can learn to ...

Northwestern is launching an institute to catalyze the translation of groundbreaking University research discoveries into treatments and devices that improve patients’ lives. The Querrey-Simpson ...
