A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

At first glance, some scientific research can seem, well, impractical. When physicists began exploring the strange, subatomic world of quantum mechanics a century ago, they weren't trying to build ...

TEXARKANA, Ark. --Free basic computer training for senior adults will be offered in the new year at the Terry Lee Rogers Recreation Center. The classes will start at 9 a.m. on the second and fourth ...

During a heated episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan openly challenged Candace Owens over her dismissal of climate change. As Owens argued the issue was exaggerated and politically motivated ...

Access to high school computer science courses has plateaued, and overall high school student participation in those classes has declined slightly, concludes Code.org’s annual report on the state of ...

Space and time aren’t just woven into the background fabric of the universe. To theoretical computer scientists, time and space (also known as memory) are the two fundamental resources of computation.

If you want to know what’s causing climate change and how it affects where you live, don’t turn to the Environmental Protection Agency for answers. The government agency purged basic facts about ...

Researchers unveiled a new technique that validates quantum computer results—especially those from GBS devices—in minutes instead of millennia. Their findings expose unexpected errors in a landmark ...

Quantum computers can outperform even the best classical supercomputers thanks to quantum entanglement and superposition, but even they can’t solve some problems. A new preprint study shows how ...

Ozempic, MRI machines and flat screen televisions all emerged out of fundamental research decades earlier — the very types of study being slashed by the US government. “They have cancelled wholesale a ...

The radical dismantling of government-funded basic research will accelerate the deterioration of universities’ beneficent implementation of the scientific method — the greatest accomplishment of ...
