Museum officials aren’t saying yet where the museum, which is home to the nation’s only Radio Hall of Fame, is headed
. However, the museum’s exhibits have been removed, and its doors are closed in its longtime 62,000-square-foot building at Kinzie and State streets.
The museum occupied just two of the four floors for exhibits, one of which was devoted to the National Radio Hall of Fame, and the other of which focused on TV. Among the museum’s holdings are an original camera used in the 1960 televised debate between presidential candidates John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, along with ventriloquist Edgar Bergen’s wisecracking puppet sidekick, Charlie McCarthy. The museum used the top floor for an events space, and leased the ground level to a restaurant.
Almost immediately upon the museum’s opening, it ran into financial troubles. In 2019, the museum sold its third and fourth floors to real estate firm Fern Hill Co. for $2.09 million and $2.15 million, respectively, and the museum shrank its available exhibition and event space from 25,000 square feet to 12,500. The museum closed in March 2020, reopened briefly but closed again because of poor attendance, and finally reopened in late 2021.

All-optical control of high-purity trions in nanoscale waveguide - Nature CommunicationsThe authors induce a nanoscale strain gradient in monolayer MoS2 suspended on a waveguide and take advantage of propagating surface plasmon polaritons to localize hot electrons in the suspended area. They funnel excitons in the waveguide, facilitating all-optical control of exciton-to-trion conversion.
