Turing structures in a manmade interface
In 1952, Alan Turing, the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, proposed that certain repetitive natural patterns may be produced by the interaction of two specific substances through the reaction-diffusion process. In this system,.....»»
A possible strategy for a tabletop chiral attosecond laser
When molecules form from many atoms, the atoms can combine in different ways. Two forms of the same molecule can have the same composition but have different arrangements of atoms, giving rise to isomers. Some isomers may have structures that are mir.....»»
AI helps scientists decipher cellular structures
To the untrained eye, a cryo-electron tomogram looks more like traces in sand than the detailed snapshot of a cell it is......»»

Researchers propose combining classical and quantum optics for super-resolution imaging
The ability to see invisible structures in our bodies, like the inner workings of cells, or the aggregation of proteins, depends on the quality of one's microscope. Ever since the first optical microscopes were invented in the 17th century, scientist.....»»
GHz burst mode femtosecond laser pulses can create unique two-dimensional periodic surface nanostructures
Scientists working on laser application at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics (RAP) have demonstrated that GHz burst mode femtosecond laser pulses can create unique two-dimensional (2D) laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on silico.....»»
FTC: Shkreli may have violated lifetime pharma ban, should be held in contempt
Shkreli's latest company, Druglike, may run afoul of his lifetime pharma ban. Enlarge / Martin Shkreli, former CEO of Turing, smirked his way through a congressional hearing. (credit: CSPAN) Infamous ex-pharmaceutical ex.....»»
Photonic hopfions: Light shaped as a smoke ring that behaves like a particle
We can frequently find in our daily lives a localized wave structure that maintains its shape upon propagation—picture a smoke ring flying in the air. Similar stable structures have been studied in various research fields and can be found in magnet.....»»
On this day in history: Before the Macintosh, Apple Computer introduced the ill-fated Lisa
On this day, in 1983, Apple Computer introduced the Lisa. One of the first personal computers to implement two new leading-edge ideas – a GUI (Graphical User Interface) and a mouse. But its ill-fated $10,000 price tag doomed it from the start. mo.....»»
