Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper thought was impossible.

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

During the Cold War, two physicists became public "opponents" of the Pentagon's antiballistic missile systems. But they kept ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

These universal truths form the shared foundation upon which a great deal of rigorous and robust merit-based inquiry is ...

"The Romance of Reality" explains how life and consciousness can proliferate despite the seeming contradiction between ...

Duke University engineers are using artificial intelligence to do something scientists have chased for centuries; turn messy, ...

Russian researchers have reportedly built a 72-qubit quantum computer with a three-zone design that delivers 94 percent ...
