By examining the different institutional frameworks established by colonial powers, Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson offer a nuanced understanding of why some countries are wealthy and others remain poor. Their research highlights…
The recent awarding of Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry to pioneers in artificial intelligence has sparked discussions about the dual nature of AI in modern science. While these awards celebrate significant advancements, concerns about AI’s potential risks are also being voiced by scientists and ethicists worldwide. Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry were awarded…
Scientific journals and news platforms have covered the announcement extensively, emphasizing the transformative nature of Ambros and Ruvkun’s work. Their research has elucidated how small RNA molecules, known as microRNAs, function as molecular switches that regulate gene expression at a post-transcriptional level. This mechanism is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis and has far-reaching implications for…
Artificial neural networks are inspired by the human brain’s structure and function. These networks consist of interconnected neurons that process and interpret data, enabling machines to learn from experience. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences honored Hopfield and Hinton for their “foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks,” recognizing the…
