This past week we launched SCOPE , a new center for science communication and public engagement.  We marked the occasion with a fun symposiu...

Modern language model development extends far beyond pretraining, yet environmental reporting remains narrowly focused on the cost of training a single final model. In this work, we provide the first ...

During my weekend or random trips to Heffers, Cambridge, a glossy-covered, palm-sized book caught my eye in the “Short Stories/Anthologies” section. It gave the impression of being chea…

Two days ago, I read the “Welcome Note” from a poetry collection titled Dwell by Simon Armitage. The poems are inspired by the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall, UK. The following lin…

The dilemma of attribution

The Higgs mechanism is normally associated with high energy physics, but its roots lie in superconductivity. And now there is evidence for a Higgs mode in disordered superconductors near the supercond...

Data-driven approaches powered by artificial intelligence are transforming materials discovery for energy sustainability. This review examines how auto-generated high-quality materials databases and ....

Artificial intelligence tools are transforming catalyst research, with new AI agents capable of completing in minutes what once took computational chemists days. Andy Extance explores how all scientis...

Quartz Studio ha il piacere di presentare The Great Silence, un progetto speciale degli artisti, di base a Porto Rico, Jennifer Allora (Philadelphia, USA, 1974)…

Philip Warren Anderson was a pioneering theoretical physicist whose work fundamentally shaped our understanding of complex systems. Anderson received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1977 for his groundb...

I know, it is yet another article on quantum physics.

The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage research.

Nature Communications - The authors introduce a novel method (AC-QUDIT) for achieving high-fidelity transport of quantum wavepackets in the presence of dissipation and leakage to the continuum....

We propose a method for fast transport of a quantum particle in a shallow vessel (trap) that ensures faithful delivery of the particle even if it has to cross a randomly fluctuating medium on it...
