Really love confocal microscope. Those are Drosophila Ovaries ( the green one) and the other one are testes. Thanks to my lab friend for the testes photo.

The ability to simulate 3D quantum fields would present physicists with the tools to probe complex processes that are beyond the reach of even the most powerful supercomputers. Physicists are racing to get there first. www.quantamagazine.org/analog-vs-di...
Analog vs. Digital: The Race Is On To Simulate Our Quantum Universe | Quanta Magazine
Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers could illuminate phenomena that are far too complex for even the most powerful…

Even if disturbed, the textures made by building blocks called neural cellular automata have the ability to heal themselves. By understanding how simple components form complex systems, scientists could theoretically coax bodies to regenerate missing limbs. www.quantamagazine.org/self-assembl...

Is life itself, and perhaps consciousness and higher intelligence, inevitable in the universe? That depends on how complexity evolves.
Why Everything in the Universe Turns More Complex | Quanta Magazine
A new suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution.

In a recent study, Fernando García-Moreno and his colleagues tracked the development of neural circuitry in cells from birds, mammals and lizards. The work shows that cognitive structures in different animals tend to look similar, but assemble in many ways.
Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals | Quanta Magazine
Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.
