Optical computing offers advantages such as high-speed calculations and relatively low energy consumption. However, nonlinear information processing with optics still remains a challenging task. In this issue, Uğur Teğin et al. demonstrates a scalable and energy-efficient optical computing framework to perform machine learning tasks with optical fibers. The reported optical computing method substantially reduces the energy cost while maintaining comparable accuracy with its digital counterparts.
We discuss the role of computational science as a multidisciplinary field and our editorial practices to promote communication and research across different disciplines.
A model for Drosophila embryonic development is presented by integrating several types of experimental data spanning over several layers of space and time.
Modeling of the multiscale dynamics of new bone formation in tissue scaffolds is still challenging due to the computational complexity in solving the mechanics–material–biology interactions. Recent work proposes a machine learning approach to address this challenge.
Massimino et al. propose the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Transcriptome and Metatranscriptome Meta-Analysis (IBD TaMMA) framework, an open-source platform for expediting the investigation of IBD-specific transcriptomics and metatranscriptomics signatures.
A computational approach to predictive modeling of embryonic development is presented and validated by integrating imaging, biochemical and genetic studies of tissue patterning in Drosophila embryogenesis.
