A state-of-the-art supercomputer simulation indicates that a feedback loop between global warming and cloud loss can push Earth’s climate past a disastrous tipping point in as little as a century.
The brain can’t directly encode the passage of time, but recent work hints at a workaround for putting timestamps on memories of events.
Neural networks can be as unpredictable as they are powerful. Now mathematicians are beginning to reveal how a neural network’s form will influence its function.
Emerging evidence suggests that the brain encodes abstract knowledge in the same way that it represents positions in space, which hints at a more universal theory of cognition.
In a Paris lab, researchers have shown for the first time that quantum methods of transmitting information are superior to classical ones.
Some researchers are using a complexity framework thought to be purely theoretical to understand evolutionary dynamics in biological and computational systems.
How does evolution select the fittest “individuals” when they are ecosystems made up of hosts and their microbiomes? Biologist debate the need to revise theories.
Simple physical principles can be used to describe how rivers grow everywhere from Florida to Mars.
Through exacting geometric calculations, Philip Gibbs has found the smallest known cover for any possible shape.
