Nanotechnology already powers modern chips, sunscreen, and mRNA vaccines, but the sci-fi dream of intelligent nanobots moving through the bloodstream is much harder. At that scale, blood behaves less ...

Encryption systems rely on “random” numbers, but conventional computers can’t generate them perfectly. New research shows that quantum physics can. By Alexander Nazaryan Researchers in Switzerland ...

Electrons can be ‘kicked across’ solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered – challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The finding ...

More than 100 years ago Hungarian-born mathematician George Pólya found himself trapped in a loop of social awkwardness. A professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, he enjoyed ...
