Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about behavioral science, public health & human generosity. Whether you’ve been told ‘no thank you’ for a job opportunity, ...

We tend to separate the brain and the muscle—the brain does the thinking; the muscle does the doing. The brain takes in complex information about the world and makes decisions, and the muscle merely ...

The surface and interior ocean are connected through physical processes that act in three dimensions and on subseasonal timescales. Numerical models and observations both highlight the importance of ...

Throughout the history of science, physics-based modeling has relied on judiciously approximating observed dynamics as a balance between a few dominant processes. However, this traditional approach is ...

For the last decade, the phrase “AI in healthcare” has been broadly defined as “smarter software that leads to shorter triage, better notes, fewer clicks and a stream of alerts.” Mirroring its rapid ...

A new study shows that the physics principle of 'nucleation' can perform complex calculations that rival a simple neural network. The work may suggest avenues for new ways to think about computation ...
