The Navier-Stokes equations are among the most important — and most challenging — equations in physics. For centuries, scientists and engineers have used them to describe the motion of fluids, from turbulent air and ocean currents to blood flowing through our bodies. But mathematicians couldn’t prove whether their solutions alwaysContinue Reading
The James Webb Space Telescope has found a lonely black hole in the early universe that’s as heavy as 50 million suns. A major discovery, the object confounds theories of the young cosmos.

Quantum computers have long tantalized researchers but a useful one has remained out of reach. This is because qubits, the fundamental computational units of quantum computing, are finicky and error-prone. Now a team at Google Quantum AI has shown that scaling up quantum error correction using an approach called theContinue Reading
