The Biology of B-Movie Monsters BY | SESSION : Biology and Geometry Collide! Size has been one of the most popular themes in monster movies, especially those from my favorite era, the 1950s. The premise is invariably to take something out of its usual context--make people small or something else (gorillas, grasshoppers, amoebae, etc.) large--and then play with the consequences. However, Hollywood's approach to the concept has been, from a biologist's perspective, hopelessly naïve. Absolute

S emiconductor chips are among the smallest and most detailed objects humans can manufacture. Shrinking the scale and upping the complexity is a fight against the limits of physics, and optical lithography—etching nanometre-scale patterns onto silicon with short-wavelength light—is its most extreme frontier. ASML , a Dutch firm that builds such lithography tools, takes an almost sci-fi approach by blasting molten tin droplets with lasers in a vacuum to produce extreme ultraviolet ( EUV ) light w

How Fast the Days Are Getting Longer Here in the northern hemisphere the vernal equinox just passed and the days are quickly getting longer. One of my colleagues lives in Stavanger, Norway. Our team’s semi-weekly standup is at 6:30pm his time, so I’ve been accustomed to seeing the window in his background be pitch black for the past six months. But from one meeting to the next, his window went from pitch black to bright. This led me to think about a basic astronomy question I had never given mu

One of the most annoying things about programming in C is the lack of support for generic types, also known as parametric polymorphism. Not to be confused with the abomination that is _Generic. I wish C had something like the following: struct Vector<T> { T* data; size_t capacity; size_t length; }; void vector_resize<T>(Vector<T>* v, size_t capacity) { v->data = realloc(v->data, capacity * sizeof(T)); v->capacity = capacity; } void vector_append<T>(Vector<T>* v, T element) { if (v->length >= v

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Reasoning through chain-of-thought (CoT) — the process by which models break problems into manageable “thoughts” before deducting answers — has become an integral part of the latest generation of frontier large language models (LLMs). However, the inference costs of reasoning models can quickly stack up as models generate excess CoT tokens. In a new paper, researchers
