This is what fun looks like for a particular set of theoretical chemists driven to solve extremely difficult problems: ...

A multinational team of physicists used artificial intelligence (AI) to condense a tremendously complicated quantum problem, which originally required solving over 100,000 equations into only four, ...

The evolution of quantum mechanics has continuously deepened our understanding of the microcosm, guiding researchers from the seminal formulation of the Schrödinger equation to more refined ...

As the size of modern technology shrinks down to the nanoscale, weird quantum effects—such as quantum tunneling, superposition, and entanglement—become prominent. This opens the door to a new era of ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...

The study published last month in the science journal, Nature Physics, explains how ice can produce electricity, similar to ...

No matter how hard we try, we can't remember tomorrow. And physicists have no idea why. In hope of discovering the source of time's river, University of Surrey physicists Thomas Guff, Chintalpati ...

Researchers who want to predict the behavior of systems governed by quantum mechanics—an electron in an atom, say, or a photon of light traveling through space—typically turn to the Schrödinger ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Algorithms are the building blocks that, when layered together, form the cryptographic fortress ...
