When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This effect, called fluorescence, is well known. But something extraordinary ...

Equal1 has just revealed a major step forward in quantum computing. The company’s new machine, Bell-1, is changing the way people think about quantum technology. Rather than needing a special lab, ...

Ultra-deep tech startup Nirvanic put on a fairly humble-looking robotics demo at Jeff Bezos's private MARS 2025 conference – and while the team is adamant that this implies no endorsement from Bezos ...

Some researchers believe consciousness is a byproduct of the constantly firing web of neurons in our heads. However, others believe something more theoretical must be involved to explain our complex ...

Can a handful of atoms outperform a much larger digital neural network on a real-world task? The answer may be yes. In a ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made ...

Large quantum computers may be able to solve problems impossible for even the best traditional supercomputers – but in order to do so, some of them might need far more energy than those supercomputers ...
