Experts believe entangling a brain with a quantum computer could finally reveal where consciousness comes from.

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For the past 30 years, scientists have investigated whether the human brain might require quantum processes to achieve cognition. A study from ...

This balance—neurons as the silent bee workers, waves as the queen’s rhythm holding the hive together—suggests consciousness ...

Auburn University scientists have developed a new class of materials that allow precise control over free electrons, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and ...

Imagine industrial processes that make materials or chemical compounds faster, cheaper, and with fewer steps than ever before ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living cells. Silicon and biology can now speak the same electrical language.

"You're basically creating molecular circuits in the machine's memory versus connecting together a bunch of steps in a piece of software," said Bill Vass.
