50 years later
After MANY months of not traveling, I scheduled a meeting with Robert (Bob) M. Mazo, Professor emeritus from the University of Oregon, now living outside Philadelphia. In 1971/1972 he helped developing the key model to describe chemical reaction-diffusion systems. But, as he stated, he was “only the catalyst” and only accepted to be recognized in the acknowledgments.…

Physics helps cure “chaos blindness”
Teaching physics to neural networks removes ‘chaos blindness’ Researchers from North Carolina State University have discovered that teaching physics to neural networks enables those networks to better adapt to chaos within their environment. The work has implications for improved artificial intelligence (AI) applications ranging from medical diagnostics to automated drone piloting. Neural networks are an…

Meeting 100+ years of experience in nonlinear dynamics
I met two scientists for my BZ-history project with a combined age of 177 years. It was a great pleasure and honor to talk to them. Meeting with Horst-Dieter Försterling Meeting with Hermann Haken.
