Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies.
Nature is still too complex for artificial intelligence (AI) modeling to be effective, but the tipping point is close, according to a new study that found the technology may still trip at the last real-world hurdle.
A portable device that can instantly detect dangerous street drugs at extremely low concentrations has been developed at the University of Bath in the UK.
The ocean plays a large role in cycling carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Determining how much carbon is locked away in the ocean is critical to understanding Earth's changing climate. However, measuring and monitoring oceanographic ...
Mathematicians love the certainty of proofs. This is how they verify that their intuition matches observable truth.
"Kids are resilient." You have heard this before, right? You might have even said it, with the best of intentions.
Recently, my 8-year-old son received a birthday card from his grandmother. He opened the card, looked at it and said, "I can't read cursive yet."
From bird flocking to fish schooling, many biological systems exhibit some type of collective motion, often to improve performance and conserve energy. Compared to other swimmers, manta rays are particularly efficient, and ...
Grading can be a time-consuming task for many teachers. Artificial intelligence tools may help ease the strain, according to a new study from the University of Georgia published in Technology, Knowledge and Learning.
The mitochondrion plays critical roles in cellular function, making it a prime organelle to target for fundamental studies, metabolic engineering, and disease therapies. With only a limited number of existing mitochondrial ...
