Our best descriptions of nature, quantum mechanics and general relativity, are failing us. To dig into the deepest levels of reality, we’re going to need new physics. youtube.com/watch?v=RIqVnF…
Climate science is the most significant scientific collaboration in history, and its lessons are a massive human achievement. “How We Came To Know Earth,” our new series, is a guide to the modern understanding of fundamental climate science. quantamagazine.org/series/climate…

How We Came To Know Earth | Quanta Magazine
Climate science is the most significant scientific collaboration in history. This series from Quanta Magazine guides you through basic climate science — from quantum effects to ancient hothouses,...
One of our most primitive ancestors possesses the same tube-like building blocks that make complex life possible. @vero_greenwood reports: quantamagazine.org/tiny-tubes-rev…
This summer, staff writer Charlie Wood (@walkingthedot) joined hundreds of physicists on a journey to Helgoland, the birthplace of quantum mechanics. The conversation was light, centering around questions like, where does our reality come from? quantamagazine.org/its-a-mess-a-b…
How could the universe have created the conditions needed for life to emerge? Tune in to “The Joy of Why” with co-host @jannalevin from @prx and @quantamag: quantamagazine.org/why-did-the-un…
Something big is afoot. A suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. quantamagazine.org/why-everything…
Which came first: colorful signals or the color vision needed to see them? Scientists reconstructed 500 million years of evolutionary history to find out. @mollymherring reports: quantamagazine.org/when-did-natur…
Learning how to prevent invasive species from overrunning an ecosystem could save at-risk wildlife, prevent billions of dollars in environmental damage, and protect human gut health. quantamagazine.org/the-ecosystem-…

The Ecosystem Dynamics That Can Make or Break an Invasion | Quanta Magazine
By speedrunning ecosystems with microbes, researchers revealed intrinsic properties that may make a community susceptible to invasion.
Social insects are masterful architects. How do they do it? Tune in to "The Joy of Why" with co-host @stevenstrogatz from @PRX and @QuantaMagazine: quantamagazine.org/does-form-real…
You’re looking at the tiny “footprints” of cilia, the hairlike threads that move some microscopic animals. The cilia of 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘹 synchronize their movement like a flock of birds — even though the animal lacks a nervous system. quantamagazine.org/before-brains-… (From 2022)
Three thought experiments contribute to the unmistakable suspicion that space-time is not the most fundamental layer of our universe. quantamagazine.org/the-thought-ex…
The word “geometry” is Greek for “measuring the earth.” The mathematician Yang-Hui He thinks that it’s an instinctively human branch of mathematics. Tune in to “The Joy of Why” with co-host @StevenStrogatz. quantamagazine.org/how-did-geomet…
An artificial neural network is completely different from a biological nervous system — even if you’re talking about the nervous system of a maggot. quantamagazine.org/ai-is-nothing-…

AI Is Nothing Like a Brain, and That’s OK | Quanta Magazine
The brain’s astounding cellular diversity and networked complexity could show how to make AI better.
The brain is a dense, thorny network of neurons, which come in many flavors and whose behaviors are controlled by a menagerie of molecules released on precise timescales. It is staggeringly more complex than an AI algorithm. quantamagazine.org/ai-is-nothing-…
Biofilms can form many unique shapes. When they’re given different nutrients — a new sugar source, less protein or more salt — entirely different topographies emerge. quantamagazine.org/how-a-biofilms…
Each type of touch neuron can detect specific sensations, such as vibration or temperature; together they generate our complex touch experience. quantamagazine.org/touch-our-most…
Humans tend to put our own intelligence on a pedestal, but cognition takes many forms in the animal kingdom. quantamagazine.org/intelligence-e…
Is life itself, and perhaps consciousness and higher intelligence, inevitable in the universe? That depends on how complexity evolves. quantamagazine.org/why-everything…
How does the body decide the fate of every single cell? quantamagazine.org/how-metabolism…
How did single cells find a way to connect and become more complex? The question has taken one biologist on the journey of a lifetime — or rather, thousands of lifetimes. Learn more about the multi-generational experiment cracking open the secrets of multicellularity on “The Joy…
