A new radiation-based mechanism adds to the ways that amino acids could have been made in space and brought to the young Earth.

A quantum approach to data analysis that relies on the study of shapes will likely remain an example of a quantum advantage — albeit for increasingly unlikely scenarios.

A team of physicists has entangled three photons over a considerable distance, which could lead to more powerful quantum cryptography.

Efforts to build a better digital “nose” suggest that our perception of scents reflects both the structure of aromatic molecules and the metabolic processes that make them.
