Summary: A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute. The authors propose ...

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of different scales. In the brain, everything influences everything else, from ...

Abstract: The problem of substructure characteristic modes is developed using a scattering matrix-based formulation, generalizing subregion characteristic mode decomposition to arbitrary computational ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

In this contribution we investigate how far multicomponent density functional theory (DFT) results can be improved by the admixture of Møller–Plesset (MP) perturbation theory electron–proton ...

"We have demonstrated that it is impossible to describe all aspects of physical reality using a computational theory of quantum gravity," says Dr. Faizal. "Therefore, no physically complete and ...

Yesterday, a Utah court filing refuted a theory popular on the left: that the suspect in the murder of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a right-winger. “I had enough of his hatred," the ...

Abstract: Data sharing in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can increase productivity and reduce costs, but it is critical to ensure data security while sharing data. Secure multi-party ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1994, an earthquake of a proof shook up the mathematical world. The mathematician Andrew Wiles had finally settled Fermat’s Last ...
