Everything interacting…
Keeping qubits stable – those quantum equivalents of classic computing bits – will be key to realizing the potential of quantum computing. Now scientists have found a new obstacle to this stability: natural radiation. It's around us all the time, and so this poses something of a problem for future quantum computers. Through a series…

Fitness. Change. Stupid mirrors…
There's a paradox within the theory of evolution: The life forms that exist today are here because they were able to change when past environments disappeared. Yet, organisms evolve to fit into specific environmental niches. How do these mechanisms co-exist? A research tried to answer that question. There are two general possible solutions. First, the…

A new study offers evidence that the brain's inferotemporal cortex, which is specialized to perform object recognition, has been repurposed for a key component of reading called orthographic processing - the ability to recognize written letters and words. (1) As we change, our brain changes. As our brain changes, we change. A constant battle leading…

However, this kind of cooperation contradicts the theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin: Why would organisms invest valuable resources to help others? Instead, they should rather use them for themselves, in order to win the evolutionary competition with other species. A…

Can my limited mind touch Being? Harmonia Philosophica calls for ideas! We are seeking innovative fresh ideas…
