Don’t tell anyone, but we have a soft spot for brainy but hilarious humor. When you take genuinely funny content and then add a big dollop of science on top of it, you get something really special.

We’ve had quantum science on our minds all year long, courtesy of 2025 being UNESCO’s International Year of Quantum Science ...

The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Researchers at Google have used their Willow quantum computer to demonstrate that "quantum contextuality" may be a crucial ...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can ...
