Life is starting to look a lot less like an outcome of chemistry and physics, and more like a computational process ...

Analysis suggests that the two pioneers of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr and John von Neumann, may have had more similar ...

How could Arrhenius understand the basics of the greenhouse effect before quantum mechanics was even discovered? It started with Joseph Fourier, a French mathematician and physicist who realized ...

The accumulation of mutations in DNA is often mentioned as an explanation for the aging process, but it remains just one hypothesis among many. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in ...

University of Queensland researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. The research paper has been published in Cell Metabolism.

7 Different types of transposable elements are regarded as another source of mutation. These are small DNA entities that can move around within the entire genome. A transposon might disrupt ...

Based on the weird laws of quantum mechanics, information encoded into these entangled photons can be transferred at high speeds while their "quantum coherence" — a state in which the particles ...

Quantum mechanics is the study of the dynamics of particles at its most fundamental level. The state of a particle, such as its position or momentum, is described by a statistical distribution ...

We can even calculate the strength of this vacuum energy. When we apply the rules of quantum mechanics to determine how much the fields vibrate in isolation, we get…infinity. That's right ...

"Quantum mechanics can enhance our ability to measure very small signals," said Norman Yao, a physics professor and author of the new paper on spin squeezing in Nature Physics. "We have shown that ...

Quantum computers harness the spooky physics of quantum mechanics to unlock computation that is vastly different from even the latest supercomputers. The Department of Science and Technology was ...
