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 ...

Scientists found that transfer learning can make the search for new physics in the universe much faster, slashing the need ...

Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer ...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN assistant editor Ananya Palivela about recent advances in quantum computing. Ananya and Craig talk about the results of ...

We see countless stars and galaxies sparkling in the universe today, but how much matter is actually there? The question is simple enough — its answer, however, is turning out to be quite a ...

Artificial intelligence is already revolutionizing scientific and cosmological exploration. In a recent research breakthrough ...

For scientists, supernovae are true superstars — massive explosions of huge, dying stars that shine light on the shape and fate of the universe. For a brief burst of time, supernovae can radiate more ...
