Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

AI focuses on learning patterns from data to make decisions; quantum computing focuses on raw computational power for complex problems like molecular simulation and code-breaking.

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

The experiment at CERN produced pairs of electron and positron beams, propagating into an ambient plasma. The international team of researchers found that the beams were narrow and nearly parallel, ...

Can two versions of reality exist at the same time? Physicists say they can — at the quantum level, that is. Government ...

This idea was once thought to lie beyond the reach of scientific inquiry,” said physicist Mir Faizal of the University of ...

A decision to sit in on a quantum physics class 20 years ago planted the seed of what became Australia’s first quantum technology firm and earned founder Dr Vikram Sharma a Prime Minister’s Science ...

With a cube-based design that fits into a standard rack mount, the ICE-Q platform delivers the reliability and scalability needed to exploit quantum systems in real-world operating environments ...

A team of physicists led by Mir Faizal argues the universe cannot be simulated, saying reality includes non-computable truths beyond any algorithm or AI model ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

The long-debated idea that we might all be living in a computer simulation—popularized by science fiction films like The Matrix—has taken a major hit.

When I introduced Steven Pinker, it felt like our worldviews couldn't have been more different. Here's why that dissonance was exactly the point.
