A bit of information theory can help you analyze — and improve — your Wordle game.
Vijay Balasubramanian investigates whether the fabric of the universe might be built from information, and what it means that physicists can even ask such a question.
A new result shows that quantum information can theoretically be protected from errors just as well as classical information can.
By carefully constructing a multidimensional and well-connected graph, a team of researchers has finally created a long-sought locally testable code that can immediately betray whether it’s been corrupted.
The thorny thought experiment has been turned into a real experiment — one that physicists use to probe the physics of information.
Today’s information age is only possible thanks to the groundbreaking work of a lone genius.
To recognize strange extraterrestrial life and solve biological mysteries on this planet, scientists are searching for an objective definition for life’s basic units.
Quantum computers can’t selectively forget information. A new algorithm for multiplication shows a way around that problem.
During development, cells seem to decode their fate through optimal information processing, which could hint at a more general principle of life.
