| Posted: 09 Jun 2016 12:12 PM PDT New research explains why so many biological networks, including the human brain (a network of neurons), exhibit a hierarchical structure, and will improve attempts to create artificial intelligence. The study demonstrates this by showing that the evolution of hierarchy -- a simple system of ranking -- in biological networks may arise because of the costs associated with network connections. |
| Super quantum simulator 'entangles' hundreds of ions Posted: 09 Jun 2016 12:08 PM PDT Physicists have 'entangled' or linked together the properties of up to 219 beryllium ions (charged atoms) to create a quantum simulator. The simulator is designed to model and mimic complex physics phenomena in a way that is impossible with conventional machines, even supercomputers. The techniques could also help improve atomic clocks. |
| Robots to provide a steadying hand at the right time Posted: 09 Jun 2016 10:44 AM PDT Many new robots look less like the metal humanoids of pop culture and more like high-tech extensions of ourselves and our capabilities. |
| One snake's prey is another's poison: Scientists pinpoint genetics of extreme resistance Posted: 09 Jun 2016 10:42 AM PDT Scientists have found that the ancestors of garter snakes gained toxin-resistant nerves almost 40 million years ago. |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2016 08:51 AM PDT Move over sniffer dogs, people who witnessed a crime are able to identify criminals by their smell. Police lineups normally rely on sight, but nose-witnesses can be just as reliable as eye-witnesses, new research has found. |
