“Gain of function” (GoF) research refers to genetic modification that deliberately enhances the abilities of an organism — often a virus or bacterium — to study how such changes affect its function, ...

ABSTRACT: The objective of modelling from data is not that the model simply fits the training data well. Rather, the goodness of a model is characterized by its generalization capability, ...

Does quantum mechanics really reflect nature in its truest form, or is it just our imprecise way of describing the weird properties of the very small? A famous test that can help answer this question ...

It's a plot device beloved by science fiction: our entire universe might be a simulation running on some advanced civilization's supercomputer. But new research from UBC Okanagan has mathematically ...

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke told employees in a memo that they'll have to show jobs can't be done by artificial intelligence before asking for more headcount and resources. Lutke said there's a ...

In this paper, we consider the function f p ( t )= 2p X 2 ( 2p t+p;p ) , where χ²(x; n) defined by X 2 ( x;p )= 2 −p/2 Γ( p/2 ) e −x/2 x p/2−1 , is the density function of a χ²-distribution with n ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

It’s one quantum leap for mankind. Parallel dimensions are no longer restricted to Marvel flicks. Google’s cutting-edge quantum chip Willow has prompted discussions among scientists about the ...

As a person with a chronic illness, I'm no stranger to bloodwork. I used to pore over my lab results, googling the various meanings, and trying not to panic when a test fell out of range. Function ...
