What if evolution also applies to ideas, to behaviors -- to memes? What if memetic traits can also be passed down through generations -- or across the broad tree of your species using communication?

However, the next generation is not an exact copy of the first but includes some random changes This process–known as evolutionary computing– exactly reproduces the process of evolution.

Healthcare technology In the digital era, healthcare technology is a tool or software to increase hospital and organisational productivity, provide new insights into medicines and treatments, or ...

As whole genome sequencing is still not feasible for large numbers of individuals, experimental evolution studies starting from polymorphic base populations rely on a modified next-generation ...

Evolution of Computer Cables Since technology is advancing rapidly, the need for faster and more reliable communication solutions is becoming more necessary.

THESE images of retro personal computers are a throwback to their humble beginnings, revealing the technological evolution of the devices over their first 25 years. Taken by photographer John ...

Evolution describes changes in inherited traits of populations through successive generations. To fully understand the science of ecology, <br/>one must first be able to grasp evolutionary concepts.

Present-day capabilities and applications are only scratching the surface of this technology's potential, which is nearly limitless.

For years, computer scientists have used computer algorithms inspired by evolution to train simulated robot brains, called neural networks, to improve at a task from one generation to the next.
