The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an insight with potentially major ramifications. A new experimental proposal ...

Is physics finished? The 21st century is often called the age of biology. Or artificial intelligence. Or any other emerging field. This relegates physics to the previous century — the golden days when ...

A 1930s-era breakthrough is helping physicists understand how quantum threads could weave together into a holographic space-time fabric. Until his dying days, the giant of 20th-century physics ...

While devising a new quantum algorithm, four researchers accidentally established a hard limit on entanglement.

Yizhi “Patrick” Cai is coordinating a global effort to write a complete synthetic yeast genome. If he succeeds, the resulting cell will be the artificial life most closely related to humans to date.
