System designed to label visual scenes according to type turns out to detect particular objects, too.
Study suggests computational role for neurons that prevent other neurons from firing.
Ballyhooed artificial-intelligence technique known as “deep learning” revives 70-year-old idea.
Genomic evidence from ancient and modern human DNA indicates a complex history for human migrations
Graduate student Nicholas Kamp describes the MicroBooNE experiment and its implications for our understanding of fundamental particles.
Ancient genomes of thirteen Neandertals provide a rare snapshot of their community and social organization
A National Science Foundation-funded team will use artificial intelligence to speed up discoveries in physics, astronomy, and neuroscience.
Researchers decipher when and why immune cells fail to respond to immunotherapy, and suggest that T cells need a different kind of prodding in order to re-engage the immune response.
A tiny rodent trims tall grasses so it can watch the skies for flying predators, new research shows.
Green turtle numbers continue to rise on a group of islands where the species has now been protected for more than 50 years, new research shows.
New research from the University of Exeter reports the largest ever whole-genome sequencing project for the potentially fatal yeast infection Candida glabrata from hospitals across Scotland.
Sensitive, Reliable and Durable Sensors Created for Multiple Industries
Female chimpanzees are less likely than males to go near villages and farmland used by humans, new research shows.
ASTHMA For a long time, scientists have debated whether or not growing up with a cat or a dog would influence either the risk of allergy or an asthmatic condition. A new study from the University of Copenhagen brings answers to the table.
The findings may help explain why some people who lead enriching lives are less prone to Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia.
Study underscores need for aggressive climate mitigation and adaptation policies to prevent future “Day Zero” droughts in dry, populated regions around the world.
MEDICATION Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Statistics Denmark have analysed more than one billion prescriptions issued by general practitioners. In the long term, the analysis may help to optimise prescription trajectories, but there are still many things we do not know about the associations between diseases and treatment patterns, explains Professor Søren Brunak who has been in charge of the study.
Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes.
By incorporating the scattering of RF waves into fusion simulations, MIT physicists improve heating and current drive predictions for fusion plasmas.
Study suggests this area of the visual cortex emerges much earlier in development than previously thought.
