We’re constantly making decisions. If I get the pumpkin spice latte, would it make me happier than my usual black coffee? If I go the scenic route on a trip, would it be worth the extra time? Past and ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

A host of tech startups are racing to build brain implants, but there may be limits to how widely such invasive technology can be adopted. New research shows that pairing AI with less invasive ...

Drew researches evolutionary biogeography, global change ecology, and conservation. His PhD research focused on landscape genomics, and he has since worked on a variety of conservation initiatives at ...

The annual clock of the seasons—winter, spring, summer, autumn—is often taken as a given. But our new study in Nature, using a new approach for observing seasonal growth cycles from satellites, shows ...

Kartikeya is a lecturer in the department of engineering at Nottingham Trent University. His research focus lies at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and robotics. During Kartikeya's ...

The idea of beaming solar power down from space might sound like science fiction, but it’s being taken seriously by a growing number of governments. A new analysis shows it could significantly lower ...

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 ...

"Agents4Science is a one-day online event that will encompass all areas of science, from physics to medicine. All of the work shared will have been researched, written, and reviewed primarily by AI, ...

With a blast of light, the wafer-thin metal “parachutes” levitate into the air. The curious inventions are each smaller than a dime and need no solar panels, propellers, or engines to move. Future ...

Tech companies are throwing money at new sources of energy, from wind and solar to next-generation geothermal, nuclear, and even fusion power. But all that electricity isn’t good for much unless it ...

While AI chatbots grab most of the attention, deep learning is also quietly revolutionizing science and engineering. A new AI model that can help predict the outcome of fusion power experiments could ...
