Electron spin may subtly break the symmetry between mirror-image molecules, helping explain why biology chose one molecular ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are deliberately engineering living cells so that they behave like quantum bits, hinting ...

The Perspective highlights quantum dots, spin-polarized materials, topological states, and genetically encoded quantum ...

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling energy inside our cells. Yet a new line of research argues that protons in ...

Our immune system is much older than we think. Long before dinosaurs existed, early life forms had developed a powerful ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering ...

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 ...

Quantum consciousness theories are gaining scientific scrutiny as researchers test whether quantum effects shape awareness.

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of quadsqueezing—an elusive fourth-order quantum effect. By combining simple forces in a ...

Research has revealed fascinating insights into how consciousness might emerge from quantum processes within the brain. Scientists have identified that microtubules, microscopic hollow tubes found ...
