Can we decipher the mechanisms that allow plant cells to communicate?

Futurum

Dave and his team used a genetics technique known as ‘screening’ to search for genes that are involved in the transport of the KNOTTED1 RNA signal molecule. We have some ideas… but it’s a little too early to discuss them,” says Dave. FUNDERS : US National Science Foundation (NSF), US Department of Agriculture. IOS-1930101.

A crisis of clarity: can defining biodiversity help us protect the natural world?

Futurum

TALK LIKE A PHILOSOPHER OF SCIENCE. TAXONOMY – the branch of science associated with classifying and organising organisms. CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING – a method philosophers use to try to find and fix places where ideas from science (or everyday life) are confused or unclear.

Synthetic biology: the power of modified microbes

Futurum

The general idea of synthetic biology is that we can engineer microbes to do things that naturally occurring microbes don’t do,” he says. Each time we make changes, we test what is and isn’t successful, and use that data to help improve designs until we can successfully engineer microbes to produce the desired product,” he says.

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

Stephen Wolfram

From projects that get completed within months of their conception, to projects that rely on years (and sometimes even decades) of systematic development. And all too often when I show people what’s possible, I’ll get the response “I had no idea the Wolfram Language could do that !” Our R&D portfolio is broad.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

So what about science? But that certainly doesn’t mean AI can’t importantly help the progress of science. But what I want to do here is to discuss what amount to deeper questions about AI in science. Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics.
