Scientists have long suspected that hormones quietly tune how the brain learns, but the idea of a single, hidden “switch” has usually been more metaphor than map. What is emerging from decades of ...

Researchers have found a way to make the chip design and manufacturing process much easier — by tapping into a hybrid blend of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. When you purchase through ...

Imagine you are watching a movie, a delightfully engaging and entertaining film. Now imagine that the person sitting next to you is an acclaimed director, an expert at making movies. Will you see the ...

Machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence, has many applications in science, from finding gravitational lenses in the distant universe to predicting virus evolution. Hubble Space Telescope ...

Learning how a physical system behaves usually means repeating measurements and using statistics to uncover patterns. That approach works well in classical science. Once quantum effects dominate, the ...

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their contributions to machine learning. Their research, which draws from statistical physics, helped ...

In a narrow passage deep inside an underground cavern between Albania and Greece, scientists pushed through waist-deep black water and clung to ropes to make a startling discovery. In the beams of ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.

On a bright, sunny day, a group of first-graders eagerly begins a science investigation called “Shadow Town.” The teacher gathers them in a circle and asks, “What causes shadows?” It’s a good question ...
