Quantum physics suggests a new way to study biology, and the results could revolutionize our understanding of how life works

Imagine using your mobile phone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and diseases. It seems like the figment of an overly optimistic science fiction writer’s imagination. But this may one day be a possibility through the emerging field of quantum biology. Over the past few decades, scientists have made incredible… Read More »

Bringing classical physics to the modern world with Galileo’s Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one will reach the ground first? As you may remember from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they both fall in the same way and reach the ground at the same time; gravity means that their… Read More »
