Leaders are under relentless pressure to perform in an environment of increasing uncertainty and change. Many feel stuck, relying on planning, control, technical expertise, and other familiar ...

Low-complexity domains in proteins are composed of a small subset of the full complement of amino acids, and in these domains, the amino acid sequences are often repetitive. Their relevance to health ...

Many authors have written about the harm of oversimplification, pointing out that it distorts reality, leads to shallow understanding, impairs problem-solving, and fuels biases. In culture wars, it ...

Does artificial intelligence (AI) make working life easier or complicated? Experts suggest the answer depends on the context. In a recent IDC-hosted interview, SIAC CEO Toni Townes-Whitley described ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1950 the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi was discussing the possibility of intelligent alien life with his colleagues. If alien ...

These epidemiologic patterns highlight the limitations of focusing on genetics alone. Although the Human Genome Project greatly expanded our understanding of hereditary contributions to disease, genes ...

ABSTRACT: We establish quantum circuit complexity as a fundamental physical observable and prove that it satisfies an uncertainty relation with energy, analogous to Heisenberg’s canonical uncertainty ...

For the first time in its 95-year history, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, NJ, has appointed a woman as a permanent professor in its School of Mathematics. Last summer, computer ...

Theoretical computer scientists are always probing the relationship of space (memory) and time. For 50 years, experts knew that a calculation of X steps required X/log X memory slots, but a new study ...
