The engineering behind Evolutor

Futurum

We have come a long way since Darwin published his concepts, and engineers and scientists have borrowed the concept of ‘survival of the fittest’ and applied it to engineering biological systems for industrial applications. The Chemical Engineer , IChemE , Royal Academy of Engineering and The Scientist are notable examples.

How machine learning is revolutionising materials science

Futurum

Pathway from school to materials science and engineering • Ryan suggests physics and chemistry as the subjects most relevant for MS&E. In the future, I would like to branch out from the technical communication of science in peer-reviewed journals and try my hand at writing accessibly about MS&E for the broader public.

Plant polymers as plastic alternatives

Futurum

Pathway from school to biological engineering Jeffrey says that biological engineering entails a robust understanding in maths, physics, chemistry and biology. This paves the way for its use among the general public in the near future. My aim is to establish my own company, developing affordable sustainable materials.

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

Stephen Wolfram

There’s a public Prompt Repository that so far has several hundred curated prompts. We’ve also added libraries for areas such as business and public policy simulation.) A typical workflow for systems engineering begins with the setting up of a model. So what’s in the public Wolfram Function Repository?

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

In July I was making “encryption-friendly” pictures of rule 30: But what Jack and I were most interested in was doing something more “cryptographically sophisticated”, and in particular inventing a practical public-key cryptosystem based on cellular automata. And it’s basically still not been figured out (and maybe it’s actually impossible).
