Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out ...

Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

2026 will be a transformative year in this area — one where force fields redefine the boundaries of atomistic simulation, making previously unthinkable modeling and discoveries routine. With workflows ...

A physicist has mounted one of the most detailed technical challenges yet against the idea that our universe is a computer ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Putting humans and LLMs head-to-head in classic tests of judgment from human psychology underscores the differences between ...

Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

The number of days when the weather gets hot, dry and windy — ideal to spark extreme wildfires — has nearly tripled in the ...

Traces of black carbon in snow can alter the light reaching plants, potentially shifting growth patterns and reshaping ...

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

At a glance, Saturn’s rings appear calm and pristine when observed from afar. These rings are quite narrow and consist mainly ...

The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...
