A century ago, physicists laid the foundation of quantum mechanics. Today, with greater control of quantum systems, scientists are making major leaps in quantum computing, quantum gravity and more, ...

For this reason, early researchers dismissed quantum effects in biology, believing cells were just too "warm, wet and noisy" for such delicate phenomena. I took a different approach, turning to open ...

Quantum mechanics has journeyed from a strange and controversial idea to the foundation of some of humanity’s most advanced ...

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a significant step in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's ...

The University of Chicago is launching the Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine, a bold scientific field that merges quantum technology with biology to transform the future of medicine and ...

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 ...

Researchers united insights from cellular biology, quantum computing, old-fashioned semiconductors and high-definition TVs to both create a revolutionary new quantum biosensor. In doing so, they shed ...

A recent study published in Nature Photonics introduces magneto-fluorescence fluctuation microspectroscopy (MFFMS), a new technique for examining quantum effects in biological systems. This approach ...
