For Ed Boyden, a neuroscientist at MIT, looking for genes allows him to figure out what experiments to conduct.
FORBES: Inside Paul Allen's Quest To Reverse Engineer The Brain
If the signature of an element is found at a wavelength that is slightly to the blue side of what experiments in a laboratory show, this means the star is moving towards the earth, making the wavelength of the light it was emitting slightly shorter.
That's what I see the music videos that we made together as: experiments on what this medium will eventually be.
So what do these experiments really mean?
FORBES: Consumers Opt For Larger Food Portions To Increase Social Status
As a result, what began as small experiments in public-private partnerships have taken off and spread throughout communities, working to address everything from global health to education.
But what seems clear is that experiments to falsify the equivalence principle are going to be complicated.
FORBES: Physicists Seek A Divorce: Prying Gravity ... From Inertia
Unfortunately, there is no evidence that either of these strategies would reduce total medical expenses, at least based on what we know about past experiments.
Yesterday in our NUvention Web class, the first of its second quarter this year, teams kicked it off by telling us what they learned last quarter and what they were running as experiments.
The researchers at Cern in Switzerland and Gran Sasso in Italy have tried really hard to find what they might be doing wrong - over three years and thousands of experiments - because they can hardly believe what they are seeing.
One of more challenging lessons from these experiments is simply determining what constitutes a cash or cashless payment.
FORBES: Millennial Smackdown: Can They Live Paying Only Cash Or Credit?
Unlike most high-school science fair participants, they seem unaware that the point of doing experiments is to identify what actually works.
WSJ: Peter Suderman: The Lesson of State Health-Care Reforms
So for his Ignite NYC talk, he performed a series of experiments to find just what sorts of obscuring techniques can defeat a common facial recognition algorithm known as Eigenfaces, testing an off-the-shelf implementation of that algorithm in a program called Neurotechnology.
FORBES: How To Hide Your Face From Big Brother? Try Sunglasses
We are now in year five of what has been one of the great experiments in Keynesian economic policy.
What is useful about neutrons for these experiments is that they are electrically neutral - within the experiment, they are as isolated from all the forces of nature as they can possibly be, with only gravity to act on them.
In both cases, the experiments would be tiny compared with what people are already doing.
What that might be is unknown, but experiments in space have shown that cosmic rays can have some positive impacts on biological materials.
They then run policy experiments on the model, asking what policymakers might have done to prevent the bubble forming, or at least stopped it building once it was clear there was one.
Though EPOCA is ambitious, and expensive, the mesocosms are too small to contain fish, and the experiments far too short to show what sort of adaptation might be possible over many years, and what its costs might be.
These experiments are proving integral in learning not only what makes people tick, but also how that matters for business.
FORBES: How a Harvard Business School Field Study Could Help Your Company
What fairness is will differ among different people but endless experiments have been done that show that people will deliberately punish those they think are being unfair: to the point that they will make themselves worse off in order to do that punishing.
In these days of taxpayer-financed science, most experiments are executed with a pretty clear idea of what the outcome ought to be, especially when they are part of wars and campaigns against this or that.
On the main table I noticed what looked like the ragtag remains of some Physics 101 lab experiments: rusted silver balls on different inclines, distressed balloons, a stained funnel, a markered flask, a calcium-speckled Bunsen burner, iron filings and sandpaper, large magnets, and batteries that could have been bought from a Chinese immigrant on the subway.
Blackshaw experiments not only in how he writes, but with what he writes.
It turns out that idiosyncrasies in the way the experiments were conducted may have led to misleading interpretations of what happened.
ECONOMIST: Being watched may not affect behaviour, after all
Particle physicists would not have the first idea of what was going on in their machines if the results of their experiments were not processed automatically.
Now that the third mixing angle has been established, these physicists and others can start moving on to other experiments to try to ascertain why the mixing angle is what it is.
FORBES: Anti-Neutrinos May Hold The Key To Solving Physics Mystery
As well as being able to chip in with opinions about what constitutes a planet, the team are letting students develop data mining experiments, looking for patterns that could assist in the discovery of alien life -- or just look neat when graphed visually.
