The race to harness quantum mechanics for computing power is finally colliding with the real economy. After a century of ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...
