Louis E. Brus, a chemist and Nobel laureate who discovered quantum dots, tiny crystals that emit various colors of light ...

A quick recap. Quantum dots are microscopic particles with a fascinating ability: They can turn one color of light into another color of light with near-perfect efficiency. Right now, the most common ...

Vitalik Buterin argues Ethereum should remain secure and functional even if core developers “walk away.” Here’s what the ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

Peter Gratton, Ph.D., is a New Orleans-based editor and professor with over 20 years of experience in investing, risk management, and public policy. Peter began covering markets at Multex (Reuters) ...

Some critics argue the threat posed by quantum computers is overblown, including Strategy chairman Michael Saylor, who has once called it a marketing ploy to pump quantum-branded tokens. Bitcoin OG ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

SES is working with the European Space Agency to lead a consortium developing Eagle-1, a space-based quantum key distribution system. Credit: SES MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – While organizations are ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...
