Human behaviour is an enigma that fascinates many scientists. And there has been much discussion over the role of probability in explaining how our minds work. Probability is a mathematical framework ...

Experts say the emerging tech can dramatically accelerate advances in drug discovery, diagnostics and precision medicine.

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Is life itself quantum mechanical? Questions of quantum mechanics are now being applied in the field of biology, with scientists asking whether life itself relies on quantum mechanics – one of the ...

Assistant Professor Julian Léonard at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Léonard explains how his group can view the quantum interactions between individual atoms under an optical ...

Eighty years ago, physicist Erwin Schrödinger asked a deceptively simple question: What is life? In a series of lectures in Dublin, later published as a short book, he proposed that the principles of ...
