SFI Seminar
Tuesday, March 26, 2013 • 12:15 p.m. • Collins Conference Room
Kevin Knuth, University at Albany – SUNY, will present a seminar on Information-Based Physics: An Intelligent Embedded Agent’s Guide to the Universe.
Abstract: In this talk, I propose an approach to understanding the foundations of physics by considering the optimal inferences an intelligent agent can make about the universe in which he or she is embedded. Information acts to constrain an agent’s beliefs.
However, at a fundamental level, any information is obtained from interactions where something Read More

Graph Grammars and Directed Hypergraphs: Discrete Models of Chemistry
Peter F. Stadler, University of Leipzig; SFI External Professor
Abstract: Labeled (multi)graphs have a long tradition as models of molecules as witnessed by the field of “chemical graph theory.”
Chemical reactions, in this setting, are naturally thought of as graph transformations, a notion that goes back to the work Dugundji and Ugi.
In a more convenient framework chemical reaction mechanism are seen as transformation Read More

NNSA News:
Measurements from two recent aerial flyovers to determine the presence of background and man-made radioactivity brought good news for Los Alamos County and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The radiological surveys, conducted in August 2011 and June 2012, found that radioisotopes and their associated exposure rates are consistent with those expected from normal background radiation.
“These surveys were well worth the effort,” said Juan Griego, Acting Manager for the Los Alamos Field Office. “The results are good news and the information will benefit the lab Read More
