The New Thermodynamic Understanding of Clocks
...against which to gauge the evolution of other observables. Physicists have struggled to understand how the time of quantum mechanics can be reconciled with the notion of time as the...
A New Link to an Old Model Could Crack the Mystery of Deep Learning
...training, the evolution of the function represented by the infinite-width neural network matches the evolution of the function represented by the kernel machine. When seen in function space, the neural...
Life’s First Peptides May Have Grown on RNA Strands
...coevolution of two of life’s key players as a single mixed, “chimeric” molecule may have been the very start of protein production, and a step toward a primitive version of...
Life Helps Make Almost Half of All Minerals on Earth
...doing, their system acknowledges how Earth’s geological development and the evolution of life influence each other. Their new taxonomy, based on an algorithmic analysis of thousands of scientific papers, recognizes...
Bacteria’s Immune Sensors Reveal a Novel Way to Detect Viruses
...of these defensive systems have been preserved through evolution and shared among diverse organisms, including humans. But a new study published this month in Science discovered that a family of...
Ants Live 10 Times Longer by Altering Their Insulin Responses
...or two of life. Humpback whales produce only one calf every two or three years and live for decades. The rule of thumb seems to reflect evolutionary strategies that channel...
Standard Model of Cosmology Survives a Telescope’s Surprising Finds
...The cosmos was simpler then, its evolution easier to compare against predictions. Astronomers first tried to see the earliest structures of the universe using the Hubble telescope in 1995. Over...
Can We Program Our Cells?
...evolvable may also make them engineerable. Strogatz (08:53): Uh huh. Interesting, right. So since evolution depends on the ability to, to change — I mean, that’s what the word “evolve”...
In New Paradox, Black Holes Appear to Evade Heat Death
...Swingle, a physicist at Brandeis University. “But then along came black holes.” When an ice cube melts and attains equilibrium with the liquid, physicists usually say the evolution of the...
