Share The brain is like a city within a fortress. Its cellular inhabitants normally hum along in their daily routines. Neurons send out the electrical signals underlying memory and cognition.

Brain cells are like tiny trees. They have an intricate web of roots that take in signals and a trunk that passes these signals to branches dotted with hubs called synapses, where the messages are ...

Despite their usefulness, large language models still have a reliability problem. A new study shows that a team of AIs working together can score up to 97 percent on US medical licensing exams, ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

Kawasaki recently revealed a computer-generated concept for the Corleo, a “robotic horse.” A video shows the automated equine galloping through valleys, crossing rivers, climbing mountains, and ...

"This approach encourages the model to 'think for itself before predicting what comes next, thus teaching an independent thinking behavior earlier in the pretraining,' the researchers state in their ...

My nephew couldn’t stop playing Minecraft when he was seven years old. One of the most popular games ever, Minecraft is an open world in which players build terrain and craft various items and tools.

The code of life is simple. Four genetic letters arranged in triplets—called codons—encode amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins, the machinery that powers life. But the genetic code ...

The dream of a universal AI interpreter just got a bit closer. This week, tech giant Meta released a new AI that can almost instantaneously translate speech in 101 languages as soon as the words ...

The project explores how life adapts to extreme environments—and hopes to inspire new drugs or even treatments to aid space travel. We’ve only scratched the surface of what thrives in the deepest ...

Despite their brief history, computers and AI have fundamentally changed what we see, what we know, and what we do. Little is as important for the world’s future and our own lives as how this history ...

Such sensors could one day carry out MRI at the scale of individual cells or aid researchers in drug development. Fragile quantum states might seem incompatible with the messy world of biology. But ...
