Researchers simulated the creation of elementary particle pairs out of the vacuum by using a quantum computer. Quantum mechanics suggest that seemingly empty space is actually filled with ghostly ...

The authors declare no competing interests. The research was supported by the Sydney Horizon Fellowship program, the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio program, the Australian Research Council, the US ...

The question may have crossed your mind at some point – what if we are all living in a simulated reality, and everyone you know is just a character in a sophisticated video game? Scientists and ...

Scientists have created a computer model that aims to mimic the human brain, hoping it might teach us about ourselves.

Probably not what the evolved robot Avidians look like. It is hoped that the discovery may in future lead to artificially intelligent brains "bred" within a computer. The "Avidians", a race of digital ...

THERE’S a 50% chance we’re living in a computer simulation, according to new analysis. A scientist from Columbia University in the US claims it’s not too far-fetched to suggest our reality is a ...

Is our world a computer simulation created by future generations? Only science has the answer. Warner Brothers From scientists, philosophers and tech CEOs it is believed by some of the world's biggest ...

US researchers have simulated half a virtual mouse brain on a supercomputer. The scientists ran a "cortical simulator" that was as big and as complex as half of a mouse brain on the BlueGene L ...

A recent test of the biggest computer chip in the world found that it can predict what is going to happen in the future “faster than the laws of physics produce the same result", researchers have said ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift — all within millionths of ...
