A new material enables creating electronic circuits that emulate the human brain. They are supposed to increase the efficiency of machine learning.
What is needed to turn "good" drones used for humanitarian purposes into "ethical" drones?
Advances in medical technology are expanding the possibilities for humans to have a child.
Humans and apes are social creatures. We need each other. We depend on each other. It's what binds us together. But that doesn't mean we always get along.
With its new funding instrument, TRANSFORM, UZH is laying the groundwork for innovation across the whole university.
Over nearly nine years, the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment captured an unprecedented five and a half million interactions from subatomic particles called neutrinos.
What does the partnership between fungi and plants look like?
The most accurate method of nuclear reaction analysis, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), is capable of detecting up to a million times less radionuclides than other methods.
Two new high-energy gamma-ray Cherenkov telescopes are now observing the skies from the observatory of the Astronomical Institute of the CAS in Ondřejov, Czech Republic.
Taking care of a family is hard work. Not only are cuckoos well aware of this, but some species of fish are as well – for instance, catfish found in Lake Tanganyika in Africa.
The day is coming -- some say has already arrived -- when new inventions that benefit society are dreamt up by artificial intelligence all on its own.
Polarography, a ground-breaking analytical method in physical chemistry which has found application in dozens of fields, recently celebrated its centenary.
In the coming years, the Czech energy sector will be defined by the global geopolitical situation and the related search for alternatives to natural gas as well as the development of nuclear resources.
For raw water to turn into drinking water, it must go through a process of complex purification which first removes any physical impurities.
The diet of fossil extinct animals can hold clues to their lifestyle, behaviour, evolution and ultimately extinction.
When your brain needs you to pay attention to something important, one way it can do that is to send out a burst of noradrenaline, according to a new MIT study.
Neuroscientists have been studying the formation of fear memories in the emotional hub of the brain -- the amygdala -- and think they have a mechanism.
Chemists have created light-activated molecular machines and shown they can drill holes through the membranes of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, killing them in as little as two minutes.
