For the past 30 years, scientists have investigated whether the human brain might require quantum processes to achieve cognition. A new study from Shanghai University uses mathematical models to ...

Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This effect, called fluorescence, is well known. But something extraordinary ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and ...

(Nanowerk News) The effects of quantum mechanics – the laws of physics that apply at exceedingly small scales – are extremely sensitive to disturbances. This is why quantum computers must be held at ...

A unique quantum effect in biology could be the key to understanding a common marker of Alzheimer’s, raising questions about current assumptions of the disease and informing the search for a cure ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The complex neural networks of the human brain, with their trillions of interconnected neurons communicating via synapses, endow us with unparalleled cognitive abilities. Yet the ...

Lab-industry ties are tightening. At the World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit this month, Shanghai Jiao Tong University's ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...
