As they lay dying

Article Abstract:

Physicist Steven Thaler randomly severed the links between the units of his artificial neural network to determine how the system will behave as it broke down. To his surprise, he discovered that as the network 'dies,' it comes up with novel and more creative solutions to specific problems.

Noisy nucleotides; DNA sequences show fractal correlations

Article Abstract:

Researchers H. Eugene Stanley, Wentian Li and Richard F. Voss have demonstrated that nucleotide sequence in DNA is not random. To some extent, the where nucleotides are positioned in a DNA sequence depends on the nucleotides that came before it.
