Seeing the Beautiful Intelligence of Microbes
...may be genetically encoded into these cells by billions of years of evolution, but in that sense the cells are not so different from robots programmed to respond in sophisticated...
The End of the RNA World Is Near, Biochemists Argue
...and Evolution delineated why the RNA world hypothesis does not provide a sufficient foundation for the evolutionary events that followed. Instead, said Charles Carter, a structural biologist at the University...
How Triangulation Leads to Knowledge
...empty space. And of course, the same thing happens in science. The theory of biological evolution is so well established because the evidence for it from so many independent sources...
Tissue Engineers Hack Life’s Code for 3-D Folded Shapes
...which researchers could then look for in developing organisms. They can also start to experimentally investigate questions relevant to evolution: Why do certain structures form as they do, and what...
Scant Evidence of Power Laws Found in Real-World Networks
...a book for a general audience, Linked, in which he asserted that power laws are ubiquitous in complex networks. “Amazingly simple and far-reaching natural laws govern the structure and evolution...
Physicists Mourn Joe Polchinski, Developer of Deep Ideas and Paradoxes
...and space-time physics, the evolution of many-body systems, and long-range interactions in string theory. About 20 years ago, astrophysicists discovered that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, driven by...
The Simple Algorithm That Ants Use to Build Bridges
...said. Evolution has seemingly equipped army ants with just the right algorithm for on-the-go bridge building. Researchers working to build swarms of simple robots are still searching for the instructions...
Elusive Higgs-Like State Created in Exotic Materials
...that it was possible to use existing theoretical tools to explain the evolution of the Higgs mode. Keimer’s group found that the Higgs mode parallels the behavior of the Higgs...
To Test Einstein’s Equations, Poke a Black Hole
...response. Einstein’s field equations describe the evolution of the shape of space-time. You give the equations information about curvature and energy at each point, and the equations tell you the...
