When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

Quantum computers have become the latest canvas for humanity’s oldest fantasy: escaping death. Startups, futurists, and ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly helping scientists to write papers, conduct literature reviews and even design laboratory experiments. Now researchers can add optimizing quantum ...

Electrons start behaving strangely when they are squeezed into extremely flat sheets such as graphene, which is just one atom thick. This makes graphene a promising material for generating robust ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and ...

Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work.Probability is a mathematical framework d ...

Scientists in Germany are drawing inspiration from the human brain to develop a new generation of ultra-fast, highly ...

A new microchip-sized device could dramatically accelerate the future of quantum computing. It controls laser frequencies ...

At the Q2B Silicon Valley conference, scientific and business leaders of the quantum computing industry hailed "spectacular" ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

Quantum entanglement—once dismissed by Albert Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”—has long captured the public imagination and puzzled even seasoned scientists. But for today’s quantum ...
