Discovery puts a magnetic spin on neuromorphic computing
The word "fractals" might inspire images of psychedelic colors spiraling into infinity in a computer animation. An invisible, but powerful and useful, version of this phenomenon exists in the realm of dynamic magnetic fractal networks......»»
How a failed experiment led to researchers showing that assumptions about chromosomal behavior were wrong
The cellular processes involved in gene regulation can be unexpectedly complicated. The expression of genes—the when, where and how much of gene activity—underlies all of biology, but is surprisingly poorly understood......»»
Synergizing Compliance and Computing: Pharmaceutical Accounting Software on the Linux Platform
You’ve probably heard the term “compliance,” but what does it mean? Compliance is the act of being in accordance with a law or regulation. In many cases, compliance means that you have to record every action you take and be able to.....»»
How Oppenheimer beat the Nazis
In Nazi Germany in 1938, scientists achieved the remarkable: they split an atom.When physicists at Princeton heard the news, they became a "stirred-up ant heap." Beyond the buzz of the discovery, other repercussions became quickly apparent: Not only.....»»
