Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Zero-point energy sits at a strange crossroads between hard physics and science fiction, promising limitless power from the ...

For their latest magic trick, physicists have done the quantum equivalent of conjuring energy out of thin air. It’s a feat that seems to fly in the face of physical law and common sense. “You can’t ...

Recent breakthroughs in quantum mechanics, highlighted by the Nobel Prize in Physics, are fundamentally changing the energy sector by enabling new forms of energy harvesting that surpass thermodynamic ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Doretha Clemons, Ph.D., MBA, PMP, has been a ...

A team of researchers has designed a theoretical model for a topological quantum battery capable of long-distance energy transfer and immunity to dissipation. By exploiting topological properties in ...

Ion trap, quantum computing processor. AI uses a ton of electricity. Just ask Elon Musk. He’s investing billions in building out some of the largest supercomputers in the world to train his AI models ...

Scientists built a tiny clock from single-electron jumps to probe the true energy cost of quantum timekeeping. They discovered that reading the clock’s output requires vastly more energy than the ...
