The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an ...

A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric. Until his dying days, the giant of 20th-century physics ...

The clearest picture yet of our “last universal common ancestor” suggests it was a relatively complex organism living 4.2 ...

With lots of data, a strong model and statistical thinking, scientists can make predictions about all sorts of complex phenomena. Today, this practice is evolving to harness the power of machine ...

Teleporting people through space is still science fiction. But quantum teleportation is dramatically different and entirely real. In this episode, Janna Levin interviews the theoretical physicist John ...

In February 2023, Google’s artificial intelligence chatbot Bard claimed that the James Webb Space Telescope had captured the first image of a planet outside our solar system. It hadn’t. When ...

While devising a new quantum algorithm, four researchers accidentally established a hard limit on entanglement.
