Quanta

[:es]The discovery that apparently dead cells can sometimes resurrect themselves has researchers exploring how far they can push the point of no return.[:]

[:es]Consciousness is a famously hard problem, so Hod Lipson is starting from the basics: with self-aware robots that can help us understand how we think.[:]

[:es]Randomness would seem to make a mathematical statement harder to prove. In fact, it often does the opposite.[:]

[:es]A recent test has confirmed the predictions of quantum trajectory theory, which describes what happens during the long-mysterious “collapse” of a quantum system.[:]

[:es]Lee Smolin has a radical idea for how to understand an object with no exterior: Imagine it built bit-by-bit from relationships between events. [:]

[:es]Lurking behind Einstein’s theory of gravity and our modern understanding of particle physics is the deceptively simple idea of symmetry. But physicists are beginning to question whether focusing on symmetry […]

[:es]What do moiré patterns seen in optics, art, photography and color printing have to do with superconducting layers of graphene?[:]

[:es]In just three pages, a Russian mathematician has presented a better way to color certain types of networks than many experts thought possible.[:]

[:es]Contrary to popular belief, bacteria have organelles too. Scientists are now studying them for insights into how complex cells evolved.[:]
