Progress towards quantum computation

One of the paradoxes of quantum theory is how little its strange foundations ob-trude into everyday life, even while supporting an ediice of chemistry and physics that explains the existence and properties of ordinary matter in exquisite detail. To marvel at the foundations themselves|in the form, say, of the two-slit experiment or the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen eeect|one must generally visit a te...

Progress towards personalized medicine.

The advent of improved genomic tools has greatly hastened our understanding of the molecular pathology of diseases, enabling us to redefine disease at the molecular level. The development of molecularly targeted therapies, coupled wi...
