How can smart contact lenses monitor and treat eye conditions?

Futurum

At Purdue University , Dr Chi Hwan Lee is using his skills as a biomedical engineer to develop smart contact lenses that can both monitor the condition and deliver drugs to combat it. TALK LIKE A BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER. Wearable sensors can be tailored to monitor a range of physical (e.g., ABOUT BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING.

Expression Evaluation and Fundamental Physics

Stephen Wolfram

And it’s all based on ideas from our Physics Project —and on a fundamental correspondence between what’s happening at the lowest level in all physical processes and in expression evaluation. And this is where we can start making an analogy with physics. And now there’s a deep analogy to physics.

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. And we’ve been steadily doing the engineering to let AIs call on Wolfram Language as easily as possible. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? And now that’s what the AIs can use as well.

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. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy.

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

Stephen Wolfram

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. But particularly in applications of calculus, it’s common to want to ask slightly more elaborate questions, like “What’s the integral of over the region ?”, or “What’s the integral of along the line ?”

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

we have a new symbolic construct, Threaded , that effectively allows you to easily generalize listability. Why is such a construct needed? Now “characters” could be 16-bit constructs, with nearly 65536 possible “glyphs” allocated across different languages and uses (including some mathematical symbols that we introduced).
