Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks, have proved to be highly promising tools for ...

A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning.

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits.

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed ...

Physicists have created a visible, self-sustaining “time crystal” using swirling liquid crystals that move in endlessly repeating patterns when illuminated. Imagine a clock that runs forever without ...
