A “mini-brain” created in the lab faces the challenge of solving one of engineering’s most complex problems, and what happens in just 45 minutes raises a profound question about artificial intelligence
Archaeologists are turning to artificial intelligence to decipher a 2,000-year-old Roman inscription, and what’s written on the stone could change everything we thought we knew about an ancient lost game
Richard Feynman, physicist and visionary, in 1959: “There is enough space on the head of a pin to fit the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica”
An artificial intelligence application identifies dinosaur footprints with 90% accuracy… and may have found the footprints of the planet’s first birds, dating back 200 million years
Up to 50% of your lifespan is “determined” by genetics before you are born, according to the Weizmann Institute
Crows outperform monkeys in an intelligence test that until now was believed to be exclusive to humans
Scientists are issuing a warning about Earth’s distant future: in about 200 to 250 million years, a new supercontinent could emerge, bringing with it brutal climate change on a planetary scale
An asteroid about 60 meters in diameter, equivalent to a 15-story building, could strike near Tycho and cause a flash visible to the naked eye for 200-300 seconds
Astronomers suspect they have discovered an object that could reveal one of the greatest mysteries of the universe
In 1964, scientists discovered that this marine mammal could sleep with half its brain awake, and it is not the only one that hardly ever rests
NASA makes it clear: the “monster” located at the center of the Milky Way (4 million suns) has a set date for its “awakening”
What happens in your brain when you are bored could explain why the best ideas come when you are “doing nothing”
They are called “donuts” and look like fairy circles underwater, but science is baffled because no one yet knows what mechanism draws these perfect giant rings on the seabed off the coast of Scotland
A sauropod measuring up to 28 meters has been discovered, and the most surprising thing is that it appeared “by surprise” during construction work
In a cave near Arar, in northern Saudi Arabia, they found complete bodies of naturally mummified cheetahs, and scientists remain amazed at how “impossible” it is to preserve a mammal in this way
China already has a giant drone with the payload capacity of a manned fighter jet, and what’s most unsettling is that the “Jetank” can launch entire swarms into the air
