Key advances in the development of artificial neural networks came from psychologists seeking to understand how the human mind works.

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

Scientists successfully borrow concepts from string theory to explain the network architecture of branching biological systems like neurons ...

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...

Biological systems are notoriously tough to model, especially when it comes to figuring out the axons, neurons, blood vessels, and other structural components of gray matter, or the tissue that makes ...

Why does string theory matter so much? 😳 Physicist Michio Kaku explains how this bold idea could unify the laws of physics, reshape our understanding of reality, and change how we see the universe.

Blood vessels, neurons, and tree branches often form junctions that look irregular, yet they follow a shared geometric rule. Using three-dimensional scans from six kinds of organisms, researchers in ...
