Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

Looking back at the history of computers, it’s hard to overestimate the rate at which computing power has scaled in the course of just a single human lifetime. But yet, existing classical computers ...

Randles began her career as a physicist and she explains why she was drawn to the multidisciplinary research that she does ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Last November, a group of physicists claimed they’d simulated a ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature—one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...
