Topology, Symmetry and Mechanics: Deciphering and Controlling information flows in a living cell by Liu, Jinghui

“…While many advances focusing on the molecular complexity of such chemomechan­ical interactions have been made in recent years, it remains unclear to what extent they can be described and even predicted with the language of a physicist. That is, to decipher the structure and dynamics of the cellular information flows focusing on system-level topology and symmetry signatures, rather than the molecular and kinetic specificities. …”

Artificial intelligence and professional roles by Tredinnick, Luke

“…Writing in the Guardian in December 2016 theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking warned that “the rise of artificial intelligence is likely to extend this job destruction deep into the middle classes, with only the most caring, creative or supervisory roles remaining” (Hawking, 2016). …”

Book review- Physics of the future: The inventions that will transform our lives by Nair, Hari A. P.

“…Through his recently published book, Physics of the future: The inventions that will transform our lives, Michio Kaku unfolds an amazing virtual world in front of us through the imaginary journey into the technology dominated century.The book transpires through 300 interviews Kaku did with world renowned scientists in the field of physics and related areas including nanotechnology, medicine, computers and space.Being a quantum physicist himself, Kaku had first-hand information of some of the emerging technology inventions from the most sophisticated research labs around the world.In addition to writing, researching and teaching, Kaku is one of the most sought after hosts in the Sci-Fi Science channel.Through a researcher’s keen eyes Kaku narrates some of the limitless possibilities of technology.Few of such predicted inventions are X-ray visions, space elevators and atom sized chips.He talks about micro machines which can perform complex surgeries.Those who are not keen on technology may fi nd the book a bit dry to sustain until the last chapter.One of the negatives of the book for a layman reader is that the language used is not tuned for a science fiction.Most of the places Kaku depends on mathematics and complex algorithms to explain a phenomenon.While explaining on advance medical technology, Kaku brings about many an invention like pocket size MRI scanners, self-screening toilet sets, clothes which can act as embryonic etc. …”
