Christopher Hoffman has been recognized as a Johns Hopkins APL Master Inventor, a distinction earned through a career spent ...

Classical computing gave us automation. What's coming next is something closer to a factory that thinks. But getting there requires two technologies converging in a way that many might not fully ...

The manifesto leaned heavily on Isaac Newton’s theories in making a case for independence, and fellow founders drew on the notion to build a new system of government By Jo Marchant Illustration by ...

D-Wave’s quantum machine had done something worth paying attention to. It had tracked hundreds of particles locked in a tangled, disorderly magnetic system. It was the kind of simulation that grows ...

Olympic weightlifting consists of three basic movements performed on a barbell: the snatch, the clean, and the jerk (with the latter two executed in combination). At such an elite level, athletes seek ...

Quantum collapse models hint at tiny time fluctuations. Credit: FQxI/Gabriel Fitzpatrick (2026) An FQxI cofunded study suggests hidden connections between quantum mechanics, gravity, and time.

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...
