Graduate student Nicholas Kamp describes the MicroBooNE experiment and its implications for our understanding of fundamental particles.
Genomic evidence from ancient and modern human DNA indicates a complex history for human migrations
Ballyhooed artificial-intelligence technique known as “deep learning” revives 70-year-old idea.
Study suggests computational role for neurons that prevent other neurons from firing.
System designed to label visual scenes according to type turns out to detect particular objects, too.
ULCERATIVE COLITIS Stem cell transplantation can cure mice suffering from inflammation in the large intestine. This is good news for ulcerative colitis patients, as it may lead to the development of new treatment forms that do not result in ostomy.
New training technique would reveal the basis for machine-learning systems’ decisions.
People can switch seamlessly between different social identities, new research shows.
The sounds of nature could help us recover from mental fatigue, but this power may be under threat as ecosystems deteriorate and people disconnect from the natural world, according to new research published in the journal Global Environmental Change.
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain.
DNA UCPH researcher Hannes Schroeder from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences receives the prestigious European Research Council’s Consolidator Grant for his inspiring project on the evolution of the human oral microbiome and the population history of prehistoric Europe.
Mergers between two neutron stars have produced more heavy elements in last 2.5 billion years than mergers between neutron stars and black holes.
PAIN RELIEF A sea snail living in the Pacific Ocean off the Philippines may be able to help scientists develop an alternative to addictive painkillers like morphine, a new study from the University of Copenhagen concludes.
Fossils indicate a communal nesting ground and adults who foraged and took care of the young as a herd, scientists say.
SKIN The lipids, or fat molecules, in the skin are significantly different in patients with a certain type of Parkinson’s disease from healthy individuals, a new multicenter study involving the University of Copenhagen finds. The researchers hope the findings could improve early detection of Parkinson’s disease in younger people.
The ancestors of many animal species alive today may have lived in a delta in what is now China, new research suggests.
Coral reefs in remote or protected areas can recover quickly after mass coral bleaching events, new research shows.
A new study finds cutting off cells’ supplies of lipids can slow the growth of tumors in mice.
Such planetary smashups are likely common in young solar systems, but they haven’t been directly observed.
