One of the most influential scientific and philosophical viewpoints is “More is Different,” introduced in 1972 by Nobel Prize–winning physicist Philip W. Anderson, highlighting the limitations of the reductionist approach. The emergent properties cannot be […]
A research team at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate has demonstrated that living biological neurons can be trained to perform a supervised temporal pattern learning task previously carried out by artificial systems. By integrating […]
University of Queensland researchers are urging governments to use newly created national data to protect the country’s last remaining ecosystems free of human pressures. The two new datasets map the extent of ecosystem disturbance across […]
As winter comes to a close, many people look forward to warmer temperatures and spring blooms, but for land managers working to preserve or restore oak-dominated forests, it is prescribed burn season. Fire brings more […]
Ever wondered what it might feel like to spot giant spider crabs while you’re snorkeling? Or check plants for the circular holes that indicate native bees are collecting nest materials? Citizen science relies on people […]
While technology has made the world “smaller,” it has also pulled individuals apart, thanks to mobile phones and other devices that command our attention. Cornell University researchers are using technology, in the form of a […]
The effectiveness of air disinfection devices may now be measured in minutes, rather than hours, with a new technique from University of Michigan Engineering. This is important for researchers developing better antiviral air purifiers, helping […]
Anyone who keeps a bird feeder has likely had the same uneasy thought after seeing a sudden blur of wings in the yard: What was that hawk doing here?This article was originally published on this […]
A common antidepressant detected in rivers and streams worldwide is disrupting how fish learn, and the impact is strikingly one-sided. New research led by Monash University shows the drug amitriptyline impairs spatial learning in wild […]
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help optimize decision-making in high-stakes settings. For instance, an autonomous system can identify a power distribution strategy that minimizes costs while keeping voltages stable.This article was originally published […]
