Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

Looking back at the history of computers, it’s hard to overestimate the rate at which computing power has scaled in the course of just a single human lifetime. But yet, existing classical computers ...

Randles began her career as a physicist and she explains why she was drawn to the multidisciplinary research that she does ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe ...

Does it really take years of practice and dedication on the basketball court to compete with the talents of NBA players? Apparently not. All you need is some basic knowledge of physics, access to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers say it's impossible to use algorithmic computation to generate everything in our universe. The possibility that our ...

NVIDIA isn't just showing off its Titan RTX GPU and some clever AI demos-- it also has big news for anyone interested in more realistic computer physics. The company is releasing its ...

WILMINGTON – Are we actually living in a computer simulation feeding us our sensory information? That was the question asked by two University of North Carolina at Wilmington professors at Cucalorus ...
