After 20 months, scientists find lab-dish brain cells matured at a similar rate to those of an actual infant.
New chip eliminates the need for specific decoding hardware, boosting gaming systems, 5G networks, and more.
The key? A computational flattening algorithm.
Do the laws of physics place a hard limit on how far technology can advance, or can we re-write those laws?
Despite being called the “dismal science,” economics impacts our lives every day. Here, we look at seven of the greatest economists in history.
Scientists successfully trained people to use robotic extra thumbs, suggesting body augmentation could revolutionize future humans.
Skepticism is appropriate when gazing into the futurist’s crystal ball.
Their success is based on us adopting a plant-based diet, too.
Discovered in 1900, the Saint-Bélec slab languished unrecognized in a castle basement for over a century.
Some neurology experiments — such as growing miniature human brains and reanimating the brains of dead pigs — are getting weird. It’s time to discuss ethics.
Which is good, because if they do, they violate the cosmological principle. In theory, the Universe should be the same, on average, everywhere. A simulation of the large-scale structure of […]
An innovation’s value is found between the technophile’s promises and the Luddite’s doomsday scenarios.
How quickly is it expanding today, and how does that expansion rate change over time? What is the Universe made of? How quickly is it expanding today, and how does that […]
An independent researcher looks into why there’s such strong opposition to her research.
A new model of the Antikythera mechanism reveals a “creation of genius.”
Say hello to your new colleague, the Workplace Environment Architect.
We eat 50 billion chickens every year. Is there a better way?
Artist Seán Doran recently created more than eight hours of high-definition video using images captured by Japan’s SELENE lunar orbiter.
Three of our dimensions are spatial and one is temporal, but could there be more? From any point in space, you are free to move in any direction you choose. No […]
By challenging your preconceptions, art offers a framework by which you can solve problems.
While other factors exist, sexual prowess appears to have helped determine the role of Protoceratops frills.
Puerto Rico’s iconic telescope facilitated important scientific discoveries while inspiring young scientists and the public imagination.
Dennis Klatt developed trailblazing text-to-speech systems before losing his own voice to cancer.
Robot developers adapt the behavior of worm “blobs”.
Their ear structures were not that different from ours.
Are space and time real like atoms are, or is spacetime just a calculational tool? When most of us think about the Universe, we think about the material objects that […]
Innovative thinking has done away with problems that long dogged the electric devices — and both scientists and environmentalists are excited about the possibilities.
Scalars, vectors, and tensors come up all the time in science. But what are they? One of the major goals of science is to describe our reality as accurately as possible. […]
Today, a quickly emerging set of technologies known as bioprinting is poised to push the boundaries further.
