The singularity has been defined as that point where technology, driven primarily by AI, will surpass human intelligence so that, effectively, humans will no longer understand what is happening around ...

Figure 1：Magnetic-field-driven superconductor-metal phase transition with multiple quantum critical points in CaFe 1-x Ni x AsF. Exploration of exotic quantum phase transitions has always been a focus ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

For quantum computers to go from research curiosities to practically useful devices, researchers need to get their errors under control. New research from Microsoft and Quantinuum has now taken a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

(Phys.org) —The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein's theory of general relativity. The model may also account for ...

Your FedEx package might someday be delivered by a robot. Rob Carter, FedEx’s chief information officer, says the shipping giant is considering small vehicles that could drive around neighborhoods and ...
