An implant enabled a person with ALS to create words on a computer just by thinking of saying them, researchers report.

Researchers from Austria and USA have designed a new type of quantum computer that uses fermionic atoms to simulate complex physical systems. The processor uses programmable neutral atom arrays and is capable of simulating fermionic models in a hardware-efficient manner using fermionic gates. The team led by Peter Zoller demonstrated how the new quantum processor can efficiently simulate fermionic models from quantum chemistry and particle physics.

But the field needs to move on from cross-sectional studies to gain insights into the causes and consequences of the association, experts say.

INDIANA - Communities across southern Indiana will align directly with the path of totality during the 2024 solar eclipse. This provides a unique opportunity for Hoosiers and tourists alike to explore the cultural dimensions and creative inspiration of a solar event that will remain in our ...

Editor’s note: Since 2015, the Simons Foundation has supported the “It from Qubit” collaboration, a group of scientists drawing on ideas from quantum information theory to address deep issues in fundamental physics. The collaboration held its “Last Hurrah” event at Perimeter Institute last week. Here is a transcript of remarks by John Preskill at the…

The U.S. Congress recently held a public hearing about "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" (previously known as UFOs), partly because of intense public interest on the matter. But what is it that makes Americans so prone to believe in aliens and conspiracy theories?

BLOOMINGTON – Organizations in rural communities with a population under 50,000 can now apply for micro-grants to support arts and cultural activities connected to the 2024 solar eclipse. The Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement will support rural community activities that fo ...

The total solar eclipse taking over the Wabash Valley isnt happening until next year - but that doesnt mean the fun cant start now.
