Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

When researchers visit the facility to capture images, they are supported by scientists, including research software engineers who help them process their data and access software. Once this is done, the CTC video footage will be accessible to artificial intelligence image analysis techniques.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

It seemed as if there was a vast new domain that had suddenly been made accessible to scientific exploration. And in it I could see so much great science that could be done, and so many wonderful opportunities for so many people. In some ways, ruliology is like natural science. I myself was still only 25 years old.

Stephen Wolfram

Processes in nature—like, for example, the weather—can be thought of as corresponding to computations. Yes, we can do natural science to figure out some aspects of what’s going to happen. We’ll be able to say some things—though perhaps in ways that are closer to psychology or social science than to traditional exact science.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

The Second Law also found its way into the social sciences—sometimes under names like “entropy pessimism”—most often being used to justify the necessity of “Maxwell’s-demon-like” active intervention or control to prevent the collapse of economic or social systems into random or incoherent states.
