Looking back at the history of computers, it’s hard to overestimate the rate at which computing power has scaled in the course of just a single human lifetime. But yet, existing classical computers ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

York University and an international team of astrophysicists have made an ambitious attempt to simulate the formation of galaxies and cosmic large-scale structure throughout staggeringly large swaths ...

More stable and efficient materials for solar cells are needed in the green transition. So-called halide perovskites are highlighted as a promising alternative to today's silicon materials.

One of the most frequently asked questions about quantum computers is a simple one: When will they be useful? If you talk to people in the field, you’ll generally get a response in the form of another ...

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN assistant editor Ananya Palivela about recent advances in quantum computing. Ananya and Craig talk about the results of ...

Simulation theory asks an unsettling question: what if everything you experience as reality is actually being generated by a ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — Prevailing theoretical models attempting to explain the formation of the solar system have assumed it to be average in every way. Now a new study by Northwestern University ...

Novatron was one of 30 private fusion initiatives to attend the Inaugural Private Sector Fusion Workshop, which was held from 27 to 29 May in Cadarache, France at the headquarters of the ITER ...
