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...
Axions Would Solve Another Major Problem in Physics
...thought about the rotating axion field and the cyclical evolution of θ, “we realized that the rest of it is almost automatic,” Co said. “We just do the computation to...
Does Time Really Flow? New Clues Come From a Century-Old Approach to Math.
...to describe the evolution of physical systems, it makes clear, according to Gisin, that “time really passes and new information is created.” Moreover, with this formalism, the strict determinism implied...
The Physicist Who Slayed Gravity’s Ghosts
...in the bedroom and we talked for two hours, de Rham’s expressive and energetic hand gestures articulating the evolution of the cosmos and occasionally colliding with the webcam. The interview...
Can Vaccines for Wildlife Prevent Human Pandemics?
...wild population on their own? Some scientists think so. Recently in Nature Ecology & Evolution, a pair of biologists at the University of Idaho argued for that approach. The idea...
To Boldly Go Where No Internet Protocol Has Gone Before
...to introduce DTN everywhere, because look at how much TCP/IP there is. There’s also been an evolution on the internet side to another set of protocols called QUIC that achieves...
Secret Ingredient Found to Power Supernovas
...in many different fields of physics — from nuclear physics to stellar evolution. Moreover, theorists can now run many simulations each year, allowing them to freely tweak the models and...
Artificial Neural Nets Finally Yield Clues to How Brains Learn
...doing backpropagation,” said Kording. “And evolution is pretty damn awesome. Backpropagation is useful. I presume that evolution kind of gets us there.” Researchers are learning more about how networks of...
Frank Wilczek on the Strong Force, Quarks and Dark Matter
...theory. Wilczek: That’s right. Yeah. And basically, the theory is a kind of theory of evolution of this coupling. See, within the standard model, it’s just a number that could...
