To help address these challenges, a team of researchers developed a hydrological model that can forecast flooding impacts and manage water resources on a global scale. The approach combines artificial ...

Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, challenging long-held principles of entropy and energy dissipation in microscopic ...

When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer solutions that are not physically sound. Take, for example, AlphaFold, the AI ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

Quantum Physics Pioneers take home the Nobel Prize: John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis. All images in this article are by Ralph Losey using AI image generation tools. Their ...

The study: Nicholas Bloom and graduate student James Liang, who is also a cofounder of the Chinese travel website Ctrip, gave the staff at Ctrip’s call center the opportunity to volunteer to work from ...

Straight talker As a science writer at quantum company Qruise, Kirsty McGhee has a range of communication responsibilities. (Courtesy: Hamish Johnston) Obviously, I write: I wouldn’t be a very good ...

“It’s a jobs drought – more of a desert actually,” James Reed CBE, CEO and chairman of recruitment firm Reed Employment, declared in an interview late last week. He has “never seen anything like it” ...
