The number of scientific papers that rely on AI has quadrupled, and the scope of problems AI can tackle is expanding by the ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought. But don't ...

A paralyzed woman can again communicate with the outside world thanks to a wafer-thin disk capturing speech signals in her brain. An AI translates these electrical buzzes into text and, using ...

A giggling toddler in a pink dress and matching headphones lies down on her back in front of a gigantic whirling machine. A pillowy headrest cushions her head. She seems unfazed as she’s slowly ...

A majestic bobcat sauntered through the Florida coastal forests. Nearby, diamondback rattlesnakes slithered across muddy terrain, alligator “swamp puppies” patrolled the waters, and venomous spiders ...

Broader Scope. Rather than just a single gene, the new study focused on diseases with multiple genetic contributions in a simulation. Using previous data that associated genetic variants with diseases ...

Using AI to screen for cancer isn’t new. But older methods often made diagnoses using medical images. Evo 2 used DNA sequences alone. With further validation, the tool could one day help scientists ...

Peter Murray was born in Boston in 1973. He earned a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Maryland, Baltimore studying gene expression in the neocortex. Following his dissertation work he spent ...

Generative AI is a data hog. The algorithms behind chatbots like ChatGPT learn to create human-like content by scraping terabytes of online articles, Reddit posts, TikTok captions, or YouTube comments ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

One study sketched a landscape of living creatures in the deep ocean using an approach called metagenomics. Here, scientists sequenced genetic material from all microbes within an environment, ...

The fear that we could follow the tapeworm was somewhat widespread in the interwar generation. Huxley’s own brother, Aldous, would provide his own vision of the dystopian potential for ...
