Trump approved a deal handing control of TikTok’s U.S. algorithm to Oracle. Oracle will rebuild, retrain, and monitor the algorithm without ByteDance involvement. The new U.S.-based TikTok venture ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a genetic optimization method for the construction of non-binary quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (NB-QC-LDPC) codes with short block lengths. In our scheme, the ...

Scientists in the UK have rewritten one of life’s oldest operating systems. They have built a bacterium that functions with a stripped-down genetic code, eliminating seven of the 64 instructions used ...

Do you remember the early days of social media? The promise of connection, of democratic empowerment, of barriers crumbling and gates opening? In those heady days, the co-founder of Twitter said that ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
