How can smart contact lenses monitor and treat eye conditions?

Futurum

They developed a ‘peeling technique’, whereby the electronic components are constructed on conventional fabrication substrates that can withstand high temperatures and corrosive chemicals but can then be thinly peeled off and transferred elsewhere. At school, study maths, physics, biology and chemistry.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Then for each function (or other construct in the language) there are pages that explain the function, with extensive examples. One new construct added in Version 13.1 —and And now there’s a way to specify that, using Threaded : In a sense, Threaded is part of a new wave of symbolic constructs that have “ambient effects” on lists.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

A lot of science—and technology—has been constructed specifically around computationally reducible phenomena. In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. Once again, I had no idea this was “out there”, and certainly I would never have been able to construct it myself.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

Its key idea is to think of things in the world as being constructed from some kind of simple-to-describe elements—say geometrical objects—and then to use something like logical reasoning to work out what will happen with them. It’s not difficult to construct multiway system models. There are multiway Turing machines.

Twenty Years Later: The Surprising Greater Implications of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

It’s that underneath everything is all possible computation, encapsulated in the single unique construct that is the ruliad. And in a sense it’s the ultimate computational construct. In traditional chemistry, things like this generally aren’t “observed”.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

He was going for what he saw as the big prize: using them to “construct the universe”. In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra.
