An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

Algorithmic complexity and information theory are foundational disciplines that intersect to elucidate how data is structured, transmitted and computed. At its core, algorithmic complexity seeks to ...

They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, but for computer scientists, two birds in a hole are better still. That’s because those cohabiting birds are the protagonists of a deceptively ...

The way trees grow together do not resemble how branches grow on a single tree, scientists have discovered. The way trees grow together do not resemble how branches grow on a single tree, scientists ...

Assembly theory bridges the gap between physics and biology in explaining how complex objects are identifiable as products of evolution and how reusability of parts allows novelty and identical ...

Selection in Assembly Space. (A) Pictorial representation of the assembly space represents the formation of combinatorial object space from building blocks and physical constraints. (B) Observed copy ...
