The inherited disease, which typically kills children before their second birthday, has no cure, but a new study in a canine model offers hope for an effective gene therapy with lasting results.
Thermodynamics of computation: A quest to find the cost of running a Turing machine
- ScienceDaily
- 20/8/26 23:56
Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work exploring the energetic costs of computation within the context of Turing machines.
Damage from whopper hurricanes rising for many reasons
A destructive storm is rising from warm waters. America and the world are getting more frequent and bigger multibillion dollar tropical catastrophes like Hurricane Laura, which is menacing the U.S. Gulf Coast, because of a combination of increased coastal development, natural climate cycles, reductions in air pollution and man-made climate change, experts say. It's a mess at least partially of...
