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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For the past 30 years, scientists have investigated whether the human brain might require quantum processes to achieve cognition. A study from ...

Quantum computing has long been one of the most powerful and least accessible technologies in the world. It promises ...

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum computing and its threat to current encryption and the unknown threat of powerful quantum automated by advanced AI.

Consciousness has long resisted neat explanations, but a growing body of research suggests the problem may lie in how we picture the brain’s information processing. Instead of behaving like a tidy ...

Researchers have made a major advance in quantum computing with a new device that is nearly 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Published in the journal Nature Communications, the ...
