A broad systematic review has revealed that quantum computing applications in health care remain more theoretical than practical, despite growing excitement in the field.
One of the most profound open questions in modern physics is: "Is gravity quantum?" The other fundamental forces—electromagnetic, weak, and strong—have all been successfully described, but no complete and consistent quantum ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents and large-language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning OpenAI's conversational platform ChatGPT, are now widely used by people worldwide, both in informal and professional settings. ...
Scientists studying a promising quantum material have stumbled upon a surprise: within its crystal structure, the material naturally forms one of the world's thinnest semiconductor junctions—a building block of most modern ...
The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now discovered that in certain ...
Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents. But imagine a parallel world, ...
The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan has roughly doubled the peak power of any other laser in the U.S. with its first official experiment at 2 petawatts (2 quadrillion watts).
What if ultrafast pulses of light could operate computers at speeds a million times faster than today's best processors? A team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Arizona, are working to make that ...
If you've ever watched a flock of birds move in perfect unison or seen ripples travel across a pond, you've witnessed nature's remarkable ability to coordinate motion. Recently, a team of scientists and engineers at Rice ...
Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers to meet their potential, ...
