Keeping track of time seems simple. A watch ticks, a pendulum swings, and a calendar flips. But at the quantum level, marking time is far more complicated — and far more expensive than anyone expected ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to powering quantum computers using quantum batteries—a breakthrough that could make future computers faster, more reliable, and more energy efficient.

Scientists are leveraging quantum physics to develop new energy production methods, aiming to address the computing industry's growing energy demands. Researchers at MIT have devised a novel approach ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

Quantum computing is the bleeding edge of computer science and stands to solve AI's energy consumption problem. IonQ is an early leader in the industry.

Touch the back of a laptop and it often feels warm. This is because part of the energy used for computation and communication ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

Tech giant IBM is booming following its most recent earnings report. Here’s what quantum has got to do with it.

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Kaia Ra, author, oracle and spiritual teacher, has become an influential voice in conversations linking spirituality with ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
