What if a computer did not rely on electronic chips or tiny transistors, but instead used hundreds of microscopic particles ...

Liquid-coupled microscopic particles can perform reservoir computing, predict chaotic signals and detect subtle anomalies with low hardware demands.

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

When considering what makes up a human body, a physicist drills down beyond the atomic level. Columnist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein explores the not-exactly-real particles that allow the stuff we’re made ...
