The hope for quantum computers is that the devices will be able to solve complex tasks such as predicting how chemicals react or cracking encrypted text. One of the main reasons that the machines are ...

Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and physicists focus on subtle interactions in quantum materials and to uncover ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

The lines between science fiction and reality are getting much blurrier. A team of scientists has grown fly neurons inside a “matrix” of online ecosystems. And what is happening now will leave you ...

Computational astrophysics is the study of the phenomena that occur in space using computer simulations. This can involve modelling processes that take place over millions of years, such as colliding ...
