The Brain Processes Speech in Parallel With Other Sounds
...system. But growing evidence, including the recent study on speech, hints that auditory processing works very differently — so much so that scientists are starting to rethink what the various...
Is the Great Neutrino Puzzle Pointing to Multiple Missing Particles?
...and half results. In recent years, they’ve devised new theories that are more complicated than the sterile neutrino, but which, if correct, would thoroughly revolutionize physics — resolving anomalies in...
Her Machine Learning Tools Pull Insights From Cell Images
...where I could accelerate biology by working on high-throughput imaging. In a recent essay you describe biology as “messy” but also “a logic puzzle.” Can you talk a bit more...
At the Dawn of Life, Heat May Have Driven Cell Division
...Wales in Sydney. “They’re really stable, and that’s kind of the point.” However, in a recent paper in Biophysical Journal, Romain Attal, a physicist at the City of Science and...
AI Researchers Fight Noise by Turning to Biology
...Plus, it lowers the accuracy of the model on non-adversarial images, and it’s computationally expensive. Recently, the fact that humans are so rarely duped by these same attacks has led...
Mathematicians Transcend Geometric Theory of Motion
...the mathematicians Mohammed Abouzaid and Andrew Blumberg of Columbia University have constructed a major extension of one of the biggest advances in geometry in recent decades. The work they built...
Cosmologists Parry Attacks on the Vaunted Cosmological Principle
...the speeds don’t match, the clouds must be scudding over the mountains. Several teams have attempted such measurements against distant galaxies and found apparent oddities. In one recent effort, researchers...
Mathematician Hurls Structure and Disorder Into Century-Old Problem
A new paper shows how to create longer disordered strings than mathematicians had thought possible, proving that a well-known recent conjecture is “spectacularly wrong.” The mathematician Ben Green of the...
The Year in Physics
...a long-ago supernova. But a recent analysis of X-ray data found a matching smear on the other side of the Milky Way, one that helps to trace out a pair...
