When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly helping scientists to write papers, conduct literature reviews and even design laboratory experiments. Now researchers can add optimizing quantum ...

Quantum computers have become the latest canvas for humanity’s oldest fantasy: escaping death. Startups, futurists, and speculative essays now suggest that machines built to manipulate qubits could ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and ...

Electrons start behaving strangely when they are squeezed into extremely flat sheets such as graphene, which is just one atom thick. This makes graphene a promising material for generating robust ...

Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work.Probability is a mathematical framework d ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers are working on a radically new kind of computer called a neuromorphic computer, inspired by the human brain. Mock-up of a quantum photonic device, which could ...

Explore how nanotechnology acts as the 'Convergence Engine' for AI materials discovery, CRISPR gene therapy delivery, and ...

A new, high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) can be rapidly implanted through a minimally invasive procedure. The ...

A teenager from Belgium has just vaulted from prodigy to pioneer, completing a PhD in quantum physics at 15 and immediately setting his sights on using artificial intelligence to push human ...
