[:es]Researchers Revise Recipe for Building a Rocky Planet Like Earth[:]

[:es]Over the past decade, researchers have completely rewritten the story of how gas giants such as Jupiter and Saturn form. They’re now debating whether the same process might hold for Earth.[:]

[:es]Surprising Limits Discovered in Quest for Optimal Solutions[:]

[:es]Algorithms that zero in on solutions to optimization problems are the beating heart of machine reasoning. New results reveal surprising limits.[:]

[:es]Is the Great Neutrino Puzzle Pointing to Multiple Missing Particles?[:]

[:es]Years of conflicting neutrino measurements have led physicists to propose a “dark sector” of invisible particles — one that could simultaneously explain dark matter, the puzzling expansion of the universe, and other mysteries.[:]

[:es]An Ultra-Precise Clock Shows How to Link the Quantum World With Gravity[:]

[:es]Time was found to flow differently between the top and bottom of a single cloud of atoms. Physicists hope that such a system will one day help them combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of gravity. [:]

[:es]The Brain Processes Speech in Parallel With Other Sounds[:]

[:es]Scientists thought that the brain’s hearing centers might just process speech along with other sounds. But new work suggests that speech gets some special treatment very early on.[:]

[:es]A Hint of Dark Matter Sends Physicists Looking to the Skies[:]

[:es]After a search of neutron stars finds preliminary evidence for hypothetical dark matter particles called axions, astrophysicists are devising new ways to spot them.[:]

[:es]Neuron Bursts Can Mimic Famous AI Learning Strategy[:]

[:es]A new model of learning centers on bursts of neural activity that act as teaching signals — approximating backpropagation, the algorithm behind learning in AI.[:]

[:es]How Animals Map 3D Spaces Surprises Brain Researchers[:]

[:es]When animals move through 3D spaces, the neat system of grid cell activity they use for navigating on flat surfaces gets more disorderly. That has implications for some ideas about memory and other processes.[:]

[:es]A New Link to an Old Model Could Crack the Mystery of Deep Learning[:]

[:es]To help them explain the shocking success of deep neural networks, researchers are turning to older but better-understood models of machine learning.[:]
