When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For the past 30 years, scientists have investigated whether the human brain might require quantum processes to achieve cognition. A study from ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly helping scientists to write papers, conduct literature reviews and even design laboratory experiments. Now researchers can add optimizing quantum ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers are working on a radically new kind of computer called a neuromorphic computer, inspired by the human brain. Mock-up of a quantum photonic device, which could ...

Quantum computers can compare molecules that are much larger than the ones classical computers can compute, Accenture said on its website. “The big hope is that a quantum computer can simulate any ...
