We aren’t used to considering the lived experience of insects. Recently, an interdisciplinary group of researchers announced that it is likely that even mosquitoes are conscious. quantamagazine.org/insects-and-ot…
By combining topology and group theory in a new way, mathematicians have gained a deeper understanding of the complicated phenomena that arise in four-dimensional spaces. quantamagazine.org/mathematicians…
Infant nutrition and growth start with milk. Learning more about it could reshape our understanding of human health and development. listen.quantamagazine.org/jow-307-s Read the podcast transcript. quantamagazine.org/what-does-milk…
The nutritional composition of milk changes over time. Learn how our first food impacts development on “The Joy of Why,” a Quanta podcast hosted by @stevenstrogatz. listen.quantamagazine.org/jow-307-s
Calabi-Yau manifolds, 6D shapes that are crucial to string theory, were named after the late Eugenio Calabi (right), who proposed the shapes in the 1950s, and Shing-Tung Yau, who in the 1970s set out to prove Calabi wrong but ended up doing the opposite. quantamagazine.org/ai-starts-to-s…
What’s going on in the mind of a bee? Phenomenal consciousness at the very minimum, according to a new declaration on animal consciousness. quantamagazine.org/insects-and-ot…
Prominent psychologists, neuroscientists, zoologists and philosophers have declared that there’s a likelihood of “phenomenal consciousness” in a vast array of animals. quantamagazine.org/insects-and-ot…
To make sense of four-dimensional spaces, mathematicians study surfaces embedded within them. A recent paper shows that these surfaces can be a lot more complicated than they seem. quantamagazine.org/mathematicians…
There’s a new consensus among biologists and philosophers of the mind: Most animals have some form of conscious experience. quantamagazine.org/insects-and-ot…
A messy diaper can hold a trove of data about a baby’s nutrition — and the keys to better infant health. Listen to “The Joy of Why,” a Quanta podcast hosted by @stevenstrogatz. listen.quantamagazine.org/jow-307-s
According to string theory, the geometric arrangement of six tiny dimensions gives rise to elementary particles. What geometry would produce the particles we know? There’s some hope that AI can winnow the field. quantamagazine.org/ai-starts-to-s…
Are large language models intelligent? Answering this question requires a messy blend of philosophy and semantics. Ellie Pavlick savors the task. quantamagazine.org/does-ai-know-w…
In the years after its introduction, the elegance once promised by string theory warped into a hideous complexity. A new approach for confronting this problem has taken shape. quantamagazine.org/ai-starts-to-s…
LLMs are trained purely on text. They don’t touch grass or feel feelings. They may not do any of the “grounding” that gives our vocabulary the flavor of experience. In this way, LLMs offer a philosophical view of how meaning works in language. quantamagazine.org/does-ai-know-w…
Four-dimensional spaces exhibit all sorts of strange properties and behaviors. With every new result, mathematicians seem to complicate the story further. quantamagazine.org/mathematicians…
Yihong Chen, an AI researcher, recently led a study that taught a machine learning model to periodically forget its initial training. Chen and her team say the success of their approach suggests that forgetfulness may help AI generalize between languages. trib.al/a9jIEKO
Language is mushy. Ellie Pavlick, a computer scientist at Brown University and Google DeepMind, probes how this mushiness works in large language models. In a conversation with @johnpavlus, Pavlick explores what “meaning” means for machines. quantamagazine.org/does-ai-know-w…

“In dimension 4, everything goes a bit crazy.” – Sam Hughes, University of Oxford quantamagazine.org/mathematicians…
In string theory, six extra dimensions curl up at every point in our 4D universe, and their configuration determines the macroscopic laws of physics. The game plan for string theory, then, boils down to searching for the specific manifold that would describe the microstructure of…
