The alleged dangers of AI have been shoved down people’s throats for years, led by doomerism about it eliminating human jobs ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

A new theory suggests the universe is constantly recording its own history in the fabric of spacetime. If correct, this ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

The day when a quantum computer can crack commonly used forms of encryption is drawing closer. The world isn’t prepared, experts say.

Quantum computers promise to revolutionize whole industries by outperforming classical computers on complex calculations. They just need to be colder than the coldest natural place in the universe.

The nature of time has long puzzled scientists, and now a researcher has constructed a mini-universe to get to the bottom of ...

Picture a quantum computer. Are you imagining an ordinary computer, but somehow just better? If so, that would be a mistake, because quantum computers are fundamentally different. They rely on exotic ...

This week, researchers published LIGO findings that hint at the existence of second-generation black holes. Astronomers captured a spectacular new image of the Milky Way across a wide range of radio ...

Oxford physicists have created an entirely new type of Schrödinger’s cat-like quantum state using components that are ...
