Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

Particle and nuclear physics evokes evokes images of huge accelerators probing the extremes of matter. But in this round-up ...

Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM are all racing to build a quantum computer. But the technology's feasibility is as hazy as its physics.

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

The FLAMINGO super simulation maps the universe from its earliest moments but finds galaxies cluster less than cosmological ...

Scientists have managed to observe solar neutrinos carrying out a rare atomic transformation deep underground, converting carbon-13 into nitrogen-13 inside the SNO+ detector. By tracking two faint ...

One of the promises underwriting the AI boom is that software will be able to use computers on our behalf. At the low end, this looks like the “deep research” tools AI firms have already released that ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

In geometry, there are surfaces that do without an inside or outside—and some need at least four dimensions to exist ...

Fresh evidence suggests early Earth wasn’t locked under a rigid stagnant lid but was already experiencing intense subduction. Ancient melt inclusions and advanced simulations point to continents ...

To achieve carbon neutrality and limit global warming to 1.5°C, energy sector investment must be scaled up and directed towards cleaner and more sustainable technologies that support climate change ...
