A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This effect, called fluorescence, is well known. But something extraordinary ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

For more than a century, neuroscience has treated consciousness as something the brain manufactures, like a factory turning ...
