Which structures do complex proteins adopt in solution? Konstanz biophysicists answer this question using the example of ubiquitin dimers as well as a new combination of high-resolution NMR ...

Investigators have created the most bio-realistic and complex computer models of individual brain cells -- in unparalleled quantity. Their research details how these models could one day answer ...

Nobel laureate economist Richard Thaler famously quipped: People aren’t dumb, the world is hard. Indeed, we routinely encounter problems in our everyday lives that feel complex – from choosing the ...

Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain, are complex computers by themselves. They receive input signals on a tree-like structure—the dendrite. This structure does more than simply collect the ...

As a contender in the race to build an error-free quantum supercomputer, IBM has been taking a different tack than its most direct competitors. Now, the firm has unveiled two new quantum computers, ...

To test the insects, the research team scent-trained 3D-printed plastic objects using cat food and released the ants into intricate, custom-built mazes. By adjusting item weight relative to group size ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---A new computer game prototype combines work and play to help solve a fundamental problem underlying many computer hardware design tasks. The online logic puzzle is called FunSAT, ...

Comparing brains to computers is a long and dearly held analogy in both neuroscience and computer science. It’s not hard to see why. Indeed, there’s already a productive flow of knowledge between the ...

Highlighting another challenge to the development of quantum computers, theorists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shown* that a type of software operation, proposed ...
