An award-winning journalist surveys the horizon of a new revolution in science
Everything in the universe, from the molecules in our bodies to the heart of a black hole, is made up of bits of information. This is the radical idea at the center of the new physics of information, and it is leading to exciting breakthroughs in a vast range of science, including the invention of a new kind of quantum computer, millions of times faster than any computer today. Acclaimed science writer Tom Siegfried offers a lively introduction to the leading scientists and ideas responsible for this exciting new scientific paradigm.

Great shelves
Size: 24 Inch, Color: White
Easy to assemble and comes with everything you need for drywall or wood. Nice color and texture and comes with stickers to hide the holes underneath. I bought two sets of three. These are very long, so I recommend just using two at a time.

Beautiful, sturdy shelves — perfect for any room!
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White, Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
These 16-inch solid wood floating shelves exceeded my expectations. The quality of the wood is excellent — thick, smooth, and very sturdy. They were easy to install, and all the hardware was included. Once mounted, they feel secure and can hold a good amount of weight without sagging.
I love how they add a clean, modern touch to the room. I’ve used them to display small framed photos, books, and decor items in my living room, and they look fantastic. The small ledge is a nice feature too — it keeps things from sliding off easily.
Great for any space — bedroom, kitchen, hallway — and they’re both functional and stylish. Highly recommended!

Perfect shelf
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
They look as pictured. The white is nice. These are sturdy and easy to hang. I was worried because I have not had luck with hanging shelves in the past but these were great. Would definitely recommend.

Stylish and Pratical
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: Black
The LaVie Home Floating Shelves are an outstanding addition to my office! This set of four 16-inch picture ledge shelves is not only stylish but incredibly functional.
One of the best features is the front ledge design, which keeps items securely in place and prevents anything from falling off. It’s perfect for displaying photos, books, or decorative pieces without worrying about them sliding off.
Installation was a breeze—the shelves come with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware, making the process quick and hassle-free. They feel sturdy once mounted and add a clean, modern touch to any room.
These shelves offer the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. If you’re looking for easy-to-install, high-quality wall storage, these are an excellent choice.

Almost perfect
Love these shelves. They were easy to put up. Gave them 4 stars because they don’t have the stickers to cover their screw holes.
