Quantum computing has crossed a line that classical machines cannot easily follow, pushing simulations of matter and forces ...

A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric. “There are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than ...

In every bit of nothing, there is something. If you zoom in on empty space and take out all the planets and stars and galaxies, you might expect a pure vacuum, but you’d be wrong. In­stead you would ...
