The formation of a black hole from light alone is permitted by general relativity, but a new study says quantum physics rules it out.

Researchers show that atoms that escape from an atom array can be replaced on the fly—an important step toward operating a large-scale neutral-atom quantum computer.

How an alga synchronizes its two flapping cilia to propel itself is revealed in a tabletop experiment with chains of mobile robots.

An ordered pattern of atomic spins with possible uses in computing can become more ordered if shaken at the right frequency.

Both the predictive power and the memory storage capability of an artificial neural network called a reservoir computer increase when time delays are added into how the network processes signals, according to a new model.
