...with Martin Rees, and on trying to understand how to integrate the growth formation and evolution of black holes into the larger picture of the assembly of galaxies and structure...
Solution: ‘Natural Law and Elegant Math’
...together without loose ends. Evolution has made us cognitive beings by giving us small internal rewards whenever we solve a puzzle — a very effective strategy. So was Wigner right?...
Continents of the Underworld Come Into Focus
...sun?’ No. ‘What is it?’ We don’t know!” said Vedran Lekić, a seismologist at the University of Maryland. “And whatever it is, it is intimately tied to the evolution of...
Biodiversity Alters Strategies of Bacterial Evolution
...how different types of microbial diversity affect the evolution of phage resistance in bacteria. Meanwhile, Harcombe and his colleagues are studying how evolution proceeds in communities where bacterial species cooperate...
The Year in Biology
...evolution successfully merged two or more cells into one, and about the mathematical tricks that organisms use in the course of their embryonic development. Advances in genome analysis helped to...
Famous Fluid Equations Spring a Leak
...evolution of a fluid over time, just as Newton’s equations describe the motion of a billiard ball on a table. More exactly, the equations specify the instantaneous movement of infinitesimally...
Mathematician Proves Huge Result on ‘Dangerous’ Problem

To Decode the Brain, Scientists Automate the Study of Behavior
...of neurons that controlled those states. The work on motion tracking and behavioral analysis that made these findings possible represents a technological revolution in the study of behavior. It also...
Black Hole Singularities Are as Inescapable as Expected
...singularity, it is not possible to evolve the equations of general relativity forward in time; evolution is only allowed along the space direction. Conversely, a particle approaching a timelike singularity...
