The mathematical model is a computer simulation that shows how muscles in the throat and esophagus move when we swallow.

Zebras and tigers have stripes, cheetahs and leopards have spots, and the ocellated lizard (Timon lepidus) boasts a labyrinthine pattern of black-and-green chains of scales. Now researchers from the ...

For most people, swallowing is second nature, but how does it occur, and why do some people have difficulty with it?

Only a handful of molecules and mechanisms can generate such a huge diversity of forms and complexity in multicellular organisms. Recently, researchers investigated how this is possible using a simple ...

Last week, Google Research held an online workshop on the conceptual understanding of deep learning. The workshop, which featured presentations by award-winning computer scientists and neuroscientists ...

Physicists and marine biologists built a quantitative framework that predicts how coral polyps collectively construct a variety of coral shapes. Since before she could remember, Eva Llabrés was a ...

If OpenAI's new model can solve grade-school math, it could pave the way for more powerful systems. This story is from The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your ...

How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really “thinking” or “reasoning” the way we understand those things? This is a philosophical question as much as a practical one, but a new ...
