Physicists Create a Device That Can ‘Forget’ Memories, Just Like a Human Brain The brain is the ultimate computing machine, so it’s no wonder researchers are keen to try and emulate it. Now, new research has taken […]
When experiments are run at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator, it’s a tremendous event. The world’s largest machine has been responsible for discovering numerous new subatomic particles, including the ultra-elusive Higgs boson. And lately, its data […]
It’s called the widowhood effect: the increased chance of death, particularly in older couples, when a person loses their spouse. Now, scientists have discovered new evidence for why broken hearts and widowhood are in themselves a deadly […]
An Amoeba Just Found an Entirely New Way to Solve a Classic Computing Problem A gelatinous, single-celled life form has just solved an increasingly complex problem that many researchers use to test algorithms Even more impressive […]
IT’S OFFICIAL: General Relativity Was Just Tested on Galactic Scales, Proving Einstein Right Again The curvature of empty space caused by an entire galaxy has now been pinned down with unprecedented precision, demonstrating Einstein’s theory […]
Could aliens harness stars to keep ahead of expanding universe? Dan Hooper, a senior scientist with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has written a paper outlining a way future aliens could keep their civilizations alive in […]
