Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. There’s a curious historical resonance to all this.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

Creating software that works for everyone

Futurum

Smart parking app software architecture and key software structures. However, if you are interested in a career in software engineering, it would be useful to study mathematics, computer studies/ICT and physics at school. At university, I planned to major in chemistry or progress to medical school. © IEEE 2021. © IEEE 2021.

Morph with the wind: shape-changing buildings

Futurum

From an architectural standpoint, it is the part of the building that people will see, so its aesthetic traits are important. Buildings are also becoming taller and more flexible, as lighter building materials and more sophisticated designs are developed, but wind-induced vibrations only get stronger and more serious with height.

What can stars reveal about galaxies and what can cultures reveal about stars?

Futurum

I liked all kinds of science when I was at school – biology, chemistry, physics. I was used to solving maths, physics, and chemistry problems, but they were invariably problems that someone had set and, therefore, knew the answer to. I have also been advocating for STEM programmes to develop more flexibility and to be more accessible.
