To Paulo Mesquita (Paulo Mesquita, PhD), an exercise physiologist, mitochondria are the center of the universe. He wonders whether a human exercise program, or even a drug, could be developed to increase the overall number and efficiency of mitochondria. quantamagazine.org/turbocharged-m…

Computer scientists want to know if PSPACE, the set of problems that can be solved in a reasonable amount of space, is greater than P, the set of problems that can be solved in a reasonable amount of time. A new proof gets closer to an answer. quantamagazine.org/for-algorithms…

“We should all be allowed entry into the mysteries of the living world, but people step away from it. They say they found science boring or dull, or it wasn’t their cup of tea, or they’re not good at it. But science is everything.” quantamagazine.org/how-paradoxica…

Michael Frank has long worked to make practical reversible computers, which would save considerable energy by not deleting data. quantamagazine.org/how-can-ai-res…

In a singularity, matter and energy concentrate so much that they bend space-time. In 2010, the physicist Aron Wall proved that singularities exist in a world where space-time has no quantum properties but is filled with particles that do. quantamagazine.org/singularities-…
