Inside the Proton, the 'Most Complicated Thing You Could Possibly Imagine'
Story by CHARLIE WOOD; Graphics by MERRILL SHERMAN
The positively charged particle at the heart of the atom is an object of unspeakable complexity, one that changes its appearance depending on how it is probed. We've attempted to connect the proton's many faces to form the most complete picture yet.
Bees Have a Number Line In a new study, honeybees continue to display their mathematical aptitude: They order numbers from left to right, suggesting that they have a "mental number line," Darren Incorvaia reports for Science News. In past studies, honeybees have demonstrated that they understand the concept of zero and basic arithmetic. In 2020 Susan D'Agostino interviewed biologist Scarlett Howard for Quanta about how she teaches math to bees.
Do Zelda Next! Scientists taught mouse and human brain cells in a dish to play the classic video game, Pong, reports Jon Hamilton for NPR. Studying the similarities between brains and computers has inspired new, efficient computing hardware. In February Allison Whitten wrote for Quanta about an AI that runs on a brain-inspired neuromorphic chip.
