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 ...

QT Sense raises €4M to advance a quantum sensing platform that lets researchers watch living cells and study disease ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers have deliberately engineered a controllable quantum bit inside living cells and tied it ...

Chiba, Japan, January 12, 2026—A team at Japan’s National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) has published a field-defining Perspective that places the societal payoff of quantum ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

Quantum physics is no longer confined to cryogenic chips and vacuum chambers. It is starting to seep into the machinery of life itself, as researchers learn to build quantum behavior directly into ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This effect, called fluorescence, is well known. But something extraordinary ...

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 computing just got a significant boost thanks to researchers at the University of Osaka, who developed a much more efficient way to create "magic states" a key component for fault-tolerant ...

The National Academies will host a workshop on the research and development needs to advance biological applications of quantum-enabled sensing and imaging technologies. The workshop will bring ...
