Her startup, Modern Synthesis, still uses bacteria to grow nanocellulose fibers, but then it harvests and processes them to create a range of different materials. The new approach is more like ...

The latest funding round from Modern Synthesis, which was oversubscribed, saw Extantia Capital at the helm, with contributions from Artesian and Collaborative Fund. The capital infusion will ...

When Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, he suggested that traits could be inherited, and that natural selection could affect which traits were passed down. Around the same time ...

Wavetable synthesis is simply playing a single waveform — one arbitrary wave — at different speeds. It was popular in the 80s and 90s, so it makes for a great application of modern ...

It looks like your basic keyboard, but it’s actually an early form of what would become the modern synthesizer. Mellotrons use magnetic tapes to play keys, rather than using digital playback.

The resolution was called the "evolutionary synthesis" or "modern synthesis," and one of its architects was Russian population geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, who lived from 1900 to 1975.

Along with Theodosius Dobzhansky, George Gaylord Simpson, and others, Mayr achieved the "modern synthesis" in the 1930s and 1940s that integrated Mendel's theory of heredity with Darwin's theory ...

Physical modelling is one of the most fascinating techniques in the modern synthesist's arsenal ... Using a technique called modal synthesis, these resonators simulate how physical objects vibrate ...
