In the future, quantum computers will enable us to solve a range of complex problems that are currently intractable, potentially revolutionising key sectors including medicine, finance and the pharmaceutical industry. In this free course...

...physical attributes or phenotype. The concept of selection is central to the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, formulated by Charles Darwin, which forms the cornerstone of many explanations of animal behaviour. What three criteria must be met within a population of interacting individuals in order for natural selection to occur? The three criteria are:...

...Physical Sciences at the Open University. ALAN CAYLESS: I'm Alan Cayless, and I'm a physicist an astronomer at the Open University. JO JARVIS: During this first week of the course, we're hoping to guide you around the night sky and prove that you don't have to have a telescope to learn your way around.
