Mathematician, code-breaker, and the founder of modern computer science, here we highlight the genius and tragedy of Alan Turing.
Which way does the solar wind blow?
To many, space weather may seem like a distant concern, but predicting its effects on Earth are important for resilience against potential hazards.
Researchers in Sweden develop light emitters for quantum circuits
Photonics offer a natural link between communication and computation, providing a potential bridge to build a quantum internet.
“Evolvable” synaptic transistors push the edge of neuromorphic computing
Researchers demonstrate the controlled growth of artificial synapses, paving the way for computers that can grow, evolve, and adapt like the human brain.
A “time-accelerated computational microscope” provides biologists with powerful insights
A new simulation technique accelerates modeling to help us better understand complex molecular processes and facilitate rational drug design.
Even without a brain, metal-eating robots can still search for food
The “metal-eating” robot can follow a metal path without using a computer or needing a battery.
Scientists create simple synthetic cell that grows and divides normally
New findings shed light on mechanisms controlling the most basic processes of life.
Women in STEM you should know
From astronauts to programmers and medical researchers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, these women are pushing boundaries in STEM.
Extracting information stored in 100,000 nuclear quantum bits
Researchers were able to detect a “needle” of highly fragile quantum information in a “haystack” of nuclei.
Artificial intelligence could be promising alternative to animal models
Replacing animal testing with the ever-growing capabilities of AI and deep learning could help minimize the need for animals in scientific discovery.
