Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a significant step in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's ...

Imagine trying to design a key for a lock that is constantly changing its shape. That is the exact challenge we face in ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers have deliberately engineered a controllable quantum bit inside living cells and tied it ...

The University of Chicago is launching the Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine, a bold scientific field that merges quantum technology with biology to transform the future of medicine and ...

Quantum physics is no longer confined to cryogenic chips and vacuum chambers. It is starting to seep into the machinery of life itself, as researchers learn to build quantum behavior directly into ...

Learn how modified fluorescent proteins are evolving into quantum sensors, enhancing our understanding of cellular processes.

Greg Engel and Julian Solway are building a new field to deliver cutting-edge patient care that requires a level of precision most patients won’t need to understand—and that’s just fine. “Think of an ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

The eight winning essays in FQxI's latest essay competition, presented in partnership with the Paradox Science Institute, range from quantum effects at the level of enzymes to medically relevant ...
