We seem to be wired to calculate not the shortest path but the “pointiest” one, facing us toward our destination as much as possible.
A century ago, electric cars were common. The fact that they were almost entirely replaced due to the internal combustion engine is a testament to the glacial pace of battery breakthroughs.
Is the time crystal really an otherworldly revolution, leveraging quantum computing that will change physics forever?
Ever wondered what oxytocin receptor proteins sound like?
When it comes to spotting a lie, less is more.
In tough competitions, men tend to give up early when they feel a low sense of control. Testosterone eradicates that effect.
Inspired by the shape of a New Caledonian crow’s beak, researchers created a new 3D-printed prototype of tweezers.
A black swan event is rare but disruptive — and might be predictable.
From the laying out of the body plan to the organization and functioning of our nervous system, cells rule gene expression and make us who and what we are.
Symmetrical objects are less complex than non-symmetrical ones. Perhaps evolution acts as an algorithm with a bias toward simplicity.
The simulation gave researchers some of the first concrete data linking climate change to human evolution and speciation.
Wind farms seem less productive when scientists incorporate more realistic atmospheric models into their output predictions.
AI-powered voice technology is poised to revolutionize the ways we do business.
Does donating relieve that anxiety? Or make it worse?
In the brain’s language-processing centers, some cells respond to one word, while others respond to strings of words together.
The outrage machine is fueled by toxicity. But there are practical steps that we can take to recapture control over our emotions.
As creatures and machines meld together in increasingly advanced forms, ethicists are starting to take note.
The perfectly accessible, perfectly knowable Universe of classical physics is gone forever, no matter what interpretation you choose.
And, more importantly, what’s being done to get them online?
Cats twist and snakes slide, exploiting and negotiating physical laws. Scientists are figuring out how.
From smartphone envy to life dissatisfaction, the root cause of much unhappiness is that we are wired to imagine how things could be better.
The idea that consciousness emerges naturally alongside intelligence could be an anthropocentric distortion.
Making up false information is one of the biggest problems with AI, but there are no silver-bullet solutions.
Are you a video gaming master? Put it on your résumé.
When you can’t enter flow, you can still lean on your internal rhythm.
“We didn’t build anything face-ish into our network [but] managed to segregate themselves without being given a face-specific nudge.”
More than a decade ago, Armenia made chess a required subject in school because it teaches kids how to think and cope with failure. The U.S. should follow suit.
Plants at room temperature show properties we had only seen near absolute zero.
