When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer ...

Researchers have discovered a way to control tiny, two-inch robots without using computers, opening new possibilities for robot swarms in areas like surveillance and space exploration. A team at ...

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...

Inspired by research into how infants learn, computer scientists have created a program that can pick up simple physical rules about the behaviour of objects — and express surprise when they seem to ...

Georgia Tech researchers have developed a mathematical formula to predict the size of lakes that form on melting ice ...

Teaching artificial intelligence to understand simple physics concepts, such as that one solid object can’t occupy the same space as another, could lead to more capable software that takes less ...
