The #NobelPrize in Physics acknowledging (once again) that Physics is not “only” about materials, subatomic particles, etc. it is also about machine learning, neuroscience, ecology … Statistical mechanics in action! and we have many challenges still ahead!
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Nature is surprised academic lineages coalesce if you go back far enough 😂 This is yet another example of something that appears surprising and informative, but it’s actually just a lack of a useful null model being specified. nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

How does liquid media support this rapid growth? We hypothesized there might be advective transport, moving resources through the cluster. To test this, we visualized fluid flow around the clusters. 10/28
