Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Key TakeawaysJohn Clarke, a former scientist at Berkeley Lab, shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering quantum tunneling in an electric ...

US researchers solve partial differential equations with neuromorphic hardware, taking us closer to world's first ...

Sandia National Labs today released an update on its neuromorphic computing research, reporting that these systems, inspired ...

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

The demand for a professional labor force skilled in data analysis and statistical methods, alongside scientific computation and other applied mathematics techniques, and has grown tremendously over ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — With recent advances, cancer research now generates vast amounts of information. The data could help researchers detect patterns in cancer cells and stop their growth, but the ...

Nothing sinks a golfer’s spirits like their ball zinging back out of the hole. Now, physics and mathematics explain how it happens. The anguish of a “lip out” occurs when a golfer putts a ball, and ...

The idea that we might be living inside a vast computer simulation, much like in The Matrix, has fascinated philosophers and scientists for years. But a new study from researchers at the University of ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...
