Fusion energy has always had a tritium problem. The fuel that powers every leading reactor design barely exists on Earth in usable quantities, and the best candidate for breeding it inside a reactor — ...

Picture a quantum computer. Are you imagining an ordinary computer, but somehow just better? If so, that would be a mistake, because quantum computers are fundamentally different. They rely on exotic ...

Quantum technologies have long underpinned modern foundational technologies, including lasers, atomic clocks, transistors, and semiconductor devices. Today, advancements in quantum information science ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

AI models have been helping with predictions for a while now. Doctors, weather forecasters and stock brokers all use AI to try to peek into the future. Inside the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in ...

Quantum Art's new QPU could be both significantly smaller and also faster than competing quantum architectures. How can we reinvent quantum computing? Perhaps by shrinking it down and making it small: ...

The race to build the first truly useful quantum computer just got more exciting. A quantum computer made from extremely cold atoms has now passed some of the most important milestones towards ...
