Researchers at the Santa Fe Institute and elsewhere have spent decades developing a thermodynamic theory of computation, but previous work on the energy cost has focused on basic symbolic computations ...

This course gives an introduction to the mathematical foundations of computation. The course will look at Turing machines, universal computation, the Church-Turing thesis, the halting problem and ...

Northwestern is a world leader in the design of soft materials, and the Center for Computation and Theory of Soft Materials (CCTSM) is at the forefront of this effort. Providing computational ...

We present a special issue focusing on recent advances in computation- and theory-driven approaches to neuroscience that inform a host of biophysical and mechanistic models. Profound insights into ...

Computational neuroscientists have developed a computational model that provides insight into the function of the brain's visual cortex and the information processing that enables people to perceive ...

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of different scales. In the brain, everything influences everything else, from ...

Ashutosh Trivedi is an Associate Professor of computer science at the University of Colorado Boulder. His researchinterests lie at the intersection of computer science, control theory, and machine ...

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) on Wednesday announced that it has awarded this year's A.M. Turing prize, often referred to as the Nobel Prize of computing, to computer scientist and ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...
