From jury duty to tax audits, randomness plays a big role. Scientists used quantum physics to build a system that ensures those number draws can’t be gamed.

Open-source clones of ChatGPT can be fine-tuned at scale and with limited or no expertise, facilitating ‘private' language ...

Developmental and synthetic biologist Michael Levin redefines what life really is, how intelligence works, and what the ...

Japanese researchers took inspiration from our eyes, creating an artificial retina that could give today’s power-hungry ...

Here, rather than the binary ... systems and body plans, but his creatures were all purely computational. A couple of years ago Paolo Funes and Jordan Pollack 5 tried to convert computer models ...

The Binary number system represents a number either by 0 or 1. For any number to be represented in Binary form, it undergoes a binary conversion. Example: 1 is 001, 2 is 010, 3 is 011, 4 is 0100, 5 is ...

To a programmer, code can seem a “domain of sorcery” in which strings of characters have power in the real world.

The discovery of this unusual binary system helps confirm a long theorized—but rarely seen—cosmic process called common envelope evolution. Binary star systems, or pairs of stars that orbit ...

Their breakthrough came with the proposal of a new numerical system – Hybrid Stochastic Number (HSN) – which combines traditional binary numbers with stochastic or probability-based numbers.

This project resolves key problems in older systems by blending binary logic with random or probability-based logic.

Imagine a computer that does not rely only on electronics but uses light to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. A ...
