University of Pennsylvania’s study of living physics is well known. They study theoretical and computational approaches from physics, information theory, and computer science; the goal is to understand neural circuits in heterogeneous living systems.
They have a freely accessible database of ~4000 natural scenes from the baboon habitat in Botswana; they can be used for psychophysics /neuroscience /computer vision research.
In their 2022 book The New College Classroom (Harvard Univ Press), Cathy N. Davidson and Christina Katopodis, two of the world’s foremost innovators in higher education, show how teachers (for all age
Recently, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore Labs announced that it had accomplished a fusion reaction and got a “net energy gain.” NIF is a $3.5 billion laser
This photo shows Electra, NASA’s supercomputer, which is in research; and sometimes in research with Google. It is a petascale supercomputer; petascale computers perform one quadrillion – that’s one million billion –
