The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

The oldest sediment DNA discovered so far comes from Greenland and is 2 million years old.

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

AI takes centre stage at an EMBO workshop exploring emerging trends, collaborative opportunities, and recent advances in computational structural ...

Today, out of an estimated 1 trillion species on Earth, 99.999 percent are considered microbial - bacteria, archaea, viruses, ...

The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society is thrilled to announce the Fall Speaker Series! Building on the success of the Spring Speaker Series, these topical events will feature a wide range of ...

For centuries, engineers have turned to nature for inspiration. Leonardo da Vinci dreamed of gliding machines that would mimic birds. Today, the close study of animals and plants is leading to ...

In recent years, the integration of computational and machine learning techniques has dramatically advanced our understanding of protein function and engineering. As proteins underpin virtually every ...

Researchers have discovered a way to speed up quantum error correction (QEC) by a factor of up to 100 — a leap that could significantly shorten the time it takes ...

The Baskin School of Engineering welcomes three new faculty members for the 2025-26 academic year. With experience across academia and industry, the new faculty bring expertise in artificial ...
