This week’s paper explores how slime mold can inspire better network design. Atsushi Tero and his team explore how the slime mold Physarum polycephalum can inspire more efficient and adaptive networks. Just as neural networks mimic the brain and genetic algorithms draw from

Here's an example when scientists were wrong - and the outsider was right In Gulliver’s Travels (1726), Jonathan Swift mocked British scientists for failing to solve the Longitude Problem: how to track your east-west position within a mile after crossing the Atlantic. It was
