Have you ever purchased a ticket for a flight online and have them ask you if you want to buy a carbon credit? What is that? And can carbon credits really slow down the climate crisis? It might sound like all hype, but carbon credits are becoming increasingly popular. By 2050, the demand for them […]
The field of Engineering is amazingly diverse touching just about everything in our world. In this video I attempt to capture all of that diversity in one picture: the Map of Engineering, so that we can get our heads around it all and set some bounds on the subject. If you are interested in learning […]
MEC. Gisela Aguilar Martinez. El nacimiento del primer mamífero clonado a partir de una célula adulta fue un hito en el campo de la biología, especialmente para la genética. El nacimiento de la oveja Dolly fue un fenómeno científico tan famoso como controvertido, tanto es así que sigue teniendo al mundo dividido entre la ética […]
MEC. Gisela Aguilar Martinez Abrazar es un instinto que, desde el nacimiento, y sin tener todavía conciencia, los bebés se buscan desesperadamente el calor de los brazos de su madre, para protegerse. Más tarde, tanto el sufrimiento como la satisfacción se consuelan o se reafirman, respectivamente, con afecto y contacto físico. Y esto no es […]
Our perception of reality is not an exact representation of the objective truth but rather a combination of sensory inputs and the brain’s interpretation of these signals. This interpretation is influenced by past experiences and is often predictive, with the brain creating categories of similar instances to anticipate future events. The brain’s categorization process extends […]
Dr. Michio Kaku, the renowned theoretical physicist, walks through the evolutionary journey of quantum computing, from analog to digital to the quantum era. Quantum computers hold immense promise because of their ability to tap into parallel universes, which boosts their computational power exponentially. They could revolutionize agriculture, energy, and medicine, solving complex problems like creating […]
Professor Brian Cox builds sandcastles in the Namib Desert to explain why time travels in one direction. It is a result of a phenomenon called entropy; a law of physics that tells us any system tends towards disorder.
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical robots are bringing a new era to medicine. Advanced medical robots can perform diagnostic and surgical procedures, aid rehabilitation, and provide prosthetics to replace limbs. The combination of extraordinary advances in robotics, medicine, materials science, and computing could bring safer, more efficient, and more widely available patient care in […]
MEC Gisela Aguilar Martínez En recientes estudios se descubrió que algunas de las mayores olas de calor no han sido registradas hasta el momento. Dichos estudios también prevén que a medida que se agrave el cambio climático, estos fenómenos serán más intensos en el futuro. Cada año parece más común que las olas de calor […]
Deep learning, neural networks, imitation games—what does any of this have to do with teaching computers to “learn”?
