A conversation with Sir Stephen Fry is a whirlwind of eclectic and esoteric references across a staggering diversity of knowledge that is stochastically connected in his polymathic mind to produce ...

The era of autonomous warfare will not announce itself with robotic armies marching across battlefields. Instead, it is already emerging, quietly and inexorably, in the skies and fields of eastern ...

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine.

The speed at which artificial intelligence is gaining in mathematical ability has taken many by surprise. It is rewriting what it means to be a mathematician ...

Researchers have used machine learning to build a smarter prediction system that could speed up the drug development process at a fraction of the cost.

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits, and ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide - cell by cell - what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising ...

AI responds with more patience and empathy than humans often do. That contrast should worry us. Half of teens use AI chatbots ...
