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 ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 $21 million gift from philanthropist Thea Berggren to the University of Chicago will establish the Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine, launching a bold scientific field that merges ...
