Evolectronica
Bob MacCallum has rolled out his new evolutionary music website -- using genetic programming and human fitness assessment -- just in time for Darwin's 200th birthday. The interface still isn't 100% smooth (on my mac at least), but it works and it produces some interesting output. Check it out at http://evolectronica.com.

Evolutionary computing and boron
Today's New York Times features an article describing a new discovery about the element boron, made in part by evolutionary computing. Full details of the discovery are provided in a January 29, 2009 letter in Nature (subscription required). They (Oganov et al.) used a special purpose evolutionary algorithm called USPEX that is not really described in the Nature piece, but it is described elsewhere including here.
