In the absence of IT governance, users may leak customer information, leading to non-compliance with data protection laws.
Gravity or gravitational force is the result of a computational process within the universe.
A new study reveals that raising oxygen tension during weeks four to six of brain organoid development significantly promotes neurogenesis, guided by the oxygen-binding protein neuroglobin.
What happens when intelligence escapes the bounds of flesh and bone? In this episode, we explore post-biological civilizations—entities that may trade biology for digital minds, machine bodies, or stranger forms still—and ask what becomes of identity, purpose, and humanity when the body is no longer required.

A new study shows that the human brain organizes action-outcome associations in cognitive maps, much like how it maps physical space for navigation.
Modern ideas about reality sometimes sound like a wild story. The notion that everything around us might be bits and bytes is easy to brush aside, yet it continues to intrigue many curious minds.
This perspective has led some researchers to wonder if physical forces might be signals of an underlying information system.
According to physicist Melvin M. Vopson of the University of Portsmouth, certain features of gravity may hint at information contained in a universal computational code.
A groundbreaking new technique called EPSILON allows researchers to map the proteins involved in memory formation with unprecedented detail, providing a window into the molecular architecture of learning.
Eukaryogenesis occurred suddenly, driven by the growing length of genes and the limitations on producing longer proteins. An international team of four senior scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published groundbreaking research in the journal PNAS that explores one of the mos
Terahertz time-gated spectral imaging for content extraction through layered structures.
Oregon State University College of Engineering researchers have developed a more efficient chip as an antidote to the vast amounts of electricity consumed by large-language-model artificial intelligence applications like Gemini and GPT-4.
“We have designed and fabricated a new chip that consumes half the energy compared to traditional designs,” said doctoral student Ramin Javadi, who, along with Tejasvi Anand, associate professor of electrical engineering, presented the technology at the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference in Boston.
“The problem is that the energy required to transmit a single bit is not being reduced at the same rate as the data rate demand is increasing,” said Anand, who directs the Mixed Signal Circuits and Systems Lab at OSU. “That’s what is causing data centers to use so much power.”
