Deep Space Nine has a brand-new story with a direction that's taken surprisingly long for the franchise to adopt.

The human brain is one of the most complex structures in nature, but the brain's origins stretch back hundreds of millions of years. A new study using AI deep-learning models has revealed more about ...

In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define brain cell types across species. They trained deep learning models on human, ...

Convergent evolution—where distinct species independently evolve similar traits or functions, such as the wings of birds and bats—has long fascinated biologists. Now, a research team led by Prof. Zou ...

Some 2.5 million years ago, viruses in Lake Tanganyika experienced an unexplained explosion in diversity. A new study analyzing iron-60 found in the lakebed suggests that the explosion of a ‘nearby’ ...

One of the big trends in artificial intelligence in the past year has been the employment of various tricks during inference -- the act of making predictions -- to dramatically improve the accuracy of ...

The deep ocean remains largely unexplored, despite containing a large portion of the living organisms and animals on Earth. Among the many creatures populating the deep-sea are so-called Cyclothone, ...

From butterflies to blue whales, corals and worms, Earth is home to an incredible diversity of animals. How all of these ...

Sometimes deep space can seem like a cold, uncaring place fully removed from the dramas unfolding on the planet Earth. However, a new study from scientists at University of California Santa Cruz ...
