“The findings provided some evidence that neural networks formed from actual neurons spontaneously develop the ability to learn. And that could explain some of the learning capabilities of actual brains, where smaller groups of neurons are organized into functional units.” “Our research shows that even very simple materials can exhibit complex, adaptive behaviors typically associated…

I love these photos. I want to spend a lot of time in both of these places. Physicists have ruled out a mundane explanation for the strange findings of an old Soviet experiment, leaving open the possibility that the results point to a new fundamental particle.
