A collaborative research team from NIMS and Tokyo University of Science has successfully developed an artificial intelligence (AI) device that executes brain-like information processing through ...

Water is everywhere, from the snowpack in the mountains to the tap in our kitchens. But while we often think about rainfall ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Nuclear weapons tests were once a regular occurrence, but most countries haven’t tested in decades, following the adoption of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996. Now, that moratorium ...

On October 8, 2024, the field of physics was plunged into controversy. That day, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for discoveries not involving black holes, cosmology, or strange new subatomic ...

A new mathematical equation describes the distribution of different fragment sizes when an object breaks. Remarkably, the distribution is the same for everything from bubbles to spaghetti. When you ...

On the steps of the U.S. Capitol on a balmy October morning, a crowd of people sporting “Save NASA Science” buttons buzzes with anticipation. Among them stands Eli Orland, who likens America’s space ...

On a December day, Richard Feynman gave a fun little lecture at Caltech — and dreamed up an entirely new field of physics. During the talk, entitled "Plenty of room at the bottom," he described the ...
