STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two pioneers of artificial intelligence – John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton – won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for helping create the building blocks of machine learning that is ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

RICHARD FEYNMAN, one of the 20th century’s greatest physicists, once quipped, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Appropriately, then, a certain sense of bemusement ...

In 1925, grad student Cecilia Payne first proposed that stars were mostly made of hydrogen and helium and shaped our understanding of the universe. This image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space ...
