Strange Stars Pulse to the Golden Mean
...as a conceivable basis of extraterrestrial communication). He then found hints that the star’s pulses were chaotic. John Learned, professor of physics at the University of Hawaii, Mānoa. But when...
As Machines Get Smarter, Evidence They Learn Like Us
...for how we learn. “It seemed to me if you want to understand something, you need to be able to build one,” he said. Following the reductionist approach of physics,...
Networks Reveal the Connections of Disease
...Thurner thought there were other, deeper questions that the data could answer as well. In a recent paper in the New Journal of Physics, Thurner and his colleagues Peter Klimek...
Concerns of an Artificial Intelligence Pioneer

The Information Theory of Life
...transmissions over a wire. Since then, the field has found wide application, and few researchers have done more in that regard than Adami, who is a professor of physics and...
A Ticking Evolutionary Clock
After a string of Insights puzzles related to physics, on the relationship between time and entropy, half-lives, overhang and quantum weirdness, we turn this month to the mysteries of biological...
Grand Unification Dream Kept at Bay
...particles might exist besides the known ones. This in turn could potentially solve other deep mysteries of physics, such as the universe’s matter-antimatter imbalance and the unexplained masses of neutrinos....
