The unknown is to be fea...

As we approach the complete set of nucleic acid sequences that form the blueprint of human life, a revolution is happening in life sciences. The way we discover drugs — as just one example —is being transformed, from a process of smashing random compounds together in hope of creating som...

SciML, short for Scientific Machine Learning, encompasses work that merges quantitative sciences with machine learning. It has gained significant traction over the past decade, driven by the widespread availability of specialized hardware (such as GPUs and TPUs) and datasets. Additionally, it has be...

One of the key elements that have driven the human race forward ever since the very first civilizations up until the industrial and digital revolution have been the ideas that we as humans have come up with. Every one of us has heard quotes along the lines of “Everything starts with an idea&rd...

GPT Summary: The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has given rise to a new era of ‘scientific simulacra’, epitomizing Jean Baudrillard’s concept of hyperreality, where reality and representation become indistinguishable. AI language models, like ChatGPT, a...
