Physicists turned a quantum computer into a time crystal--sci-fi concepts are now cutting-edge reality.

Physicists Transformed a Quantum Computer Into a Time Crystal For the first time, physicists have transformed a quantum processor into a state of matter that seems to defy physics, a breakthrough that could be a step toward making quantum computing more practical.

Why is the night sky dark? A cosmic mystery hides in plain sight.

Why Is the Night Sky Dark? You Can Thank the Big Bang Called Olbers’ paradox, the seemingly simple mystery of the sky’s darkness is something that stumped astronomers for centuries

Physicists reinvent timekeeping with a whole new way of measuring time.

Physicists Found an Entirely New Way of Measuring Time Determining the passage of time in our world of ticking clocks and oscillating pendulums is a simple case of counting the seconds between 'then' and 'now'.

AI agents predicting human behavior with 85% accuracy? The social experiment just got smarter.

1,000 AI agents can now predict human behavior with 85% accuracy in social experiments Researchers from Stanford, Washington University, and Google DeepMind have created AI agents that can closely mimic human behavior in social experiments.

Can quantum computers crack the many-body puzzle? Physicists invent a fresh metric to try.

The study highlights quantum computing's potential for tackling complex material systems while providing an open-access framework for future research innovations. Scientists aspire to use quantum computing t

Your brain loves simplicity--shortcuts are the key to its computational genius.

The simple truth: Why our brains love taking shortcuts Why do humans prefer a simple shortcut over a more complex solution? Researchers have found the answer in our brains.

Revolutionary transistors? Tweaking materials could transform tech as we know it.

By tweaking materials, scientists create transistors that remember A team of Johns Hopkins materials scientists made a surprising discovery that could change the way memory works in electronics. By tweaking the materials used in organic material-based logic switches called transistors, they created a new kind of memristor—devices that can remember past charging s...

The ancient Siberian land bridge wasn't what we thought--history redefined.

Ancient 'land bridge' that connected Siberia to US wasn't what it seems, scientists find The boggy landscape of the Bering land bridge may have allowed some ice age animals to cross easily, while others stayed in Asia.

Deja vu has a mind-twisting counterpart, and it's even more uncanny.

The Opposite of Déjà Vu Exists And Is Even More Uncanny Repetition has a strange relationship with the mind.

Measuring particle mass just got a precision upgrade--unlocking the universe's secrets, one particle at a time.

Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside...

Listening can grow your brain! Adults form new neurons key to auditory learning.

Adults grow new brain cells – and these neurons are key to learning by listening Understanding how new neurons affect brain function throughout adulthood can offer new approaches to treating epilepsy and dementia.
