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

Futurum

As a result, a new discipline, known as research computing, has emerged to apply computers, not just software, to research including to help scientists capture images, construct models, which are turned into simulations, and analyse results. Research computing is a sub-discipline of computer science. Scientific imaging in physics.

On the frontline of the biomedical revolution

Futurum

Probes constructed from nanoparticles can enter cells themselves, attaching to proteins or other substances within the cell. My father inspired me to be creative and innovative. Having a fundamental understanding of the underlying biology is critical when translating discoveries from the lab to the clinic,” she explains. “We

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

One of the notable features of a system like ChatGPT is that it isn’t constructed in an “understand-every-step” traditional engineering way. But it also highlights how significant our specifics—our particular history, biology, etc.—are. People might say: “Computers can never show creativity or originality”. So what’s left?

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

Because for some reason—that maybe one day we’ll have a scientific-style understanding of—if we always pick the highest-ranked word, we’ll typically get a very “flat” essay, that never seems to “show any creativity” (and even sometimes repeats word for word).

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

When most working mathematicians do mathematics it seems to be typical for them to reason as if the constructs they’re dealing with (whether they be numbers or sets or whatever) are “real things”. And we can think of that ultimate machine code as operating on things that are in effect just abstract constructs—very much like in mathematics.

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

Stephen Wolfram

It began partly as an empirical law, and partly as something abstractly constructed on the basis of the idea of molecules, that nobody at the time knew for sure existed. But what’s important for our purposes here is that in the setup Carnot constructed he basically ended up introducing the Second Law.
