(THE CONVERSATION) Every day, people are constantly learning and forming new memories. When you pick up a new hobby, try a recipe a friend recommended or read the latest world news, your brain stores ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about neuroscience and its intersection with technology. We take in information from the world around us through our five ...

Controlling qubits with quantum superpositions allows them to dramatically violate a fundamental limit and encode information ...

Digital video cameras have the capability to record in incredible detail, but saving all that data would take up a huge amount of space: how can we compress a video--that is, remove information--in ...

Researchers have been able to create optical framed knots in the laboratory that could potentially be applied in modern technologies. Their work opens the door to new methods of distributing secret ...

An international team of researchers has succeeded in measuring the shape of individual photons for the first time. The result could prove extremely useful for secure data transmission using light.
