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 ...

Researchers have discovered how certain photosynthetic bacteria use a sophisticated quantum mechanism to increase their ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have uploaded a viral genome to a quantum computer, marking an important step for the future of quantum-enabled advancements in biology.

The eight winning essays in FQxI's latest essay competition, presented in partnership with the Paradox Science Institute, range from quantum effects at the level of enzymes to medically relevant ...

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, ...
