BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports ...

My little theory is that the concept of “imprinting” in psychology can just as easily be applied to programming: Much as a baby goose decides that the first moving life-form it encounters is its ...

If you think about it in the broadest possible terms, a computer is effectively just a handful of rocks that we've successfully tricked into "thinking." With the human brain as a model and a healthy ...

Dr. Shaw and Dr. Hilton teach software engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In ...

We’re racing towards a future in which devices will be able to read our thoughts. You see signs of it everywhere, from brain-computer interfaces to algorithms that detect emotions from facial scans.

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

Scientists have created human eggs containing genes from adult skin cells, a step that someday could help women who are infertile or gay couples have babies with their own genes but would also raise ...

A quantum computer has demonstrated that it can solve a problem more efficiently than a conventional computer. This achievement comes from being able to unlock a vast memory resource that classical ...

The use of large language models (LLMs) as an alternative to search engines and recommendation algorithms is increasing, but early research suggests there is still a high degree of inconsistency and ...

Born from the trauma of World War II, this bow-wearing cartoon icon became a powerful tool for diplomacy, reinvention, and cultural soft power. Dressed in a kimono, Hello Kitty performs a classical ...

Keeping a qubit stable is difficult enough, even in an ideal environment. Now, researchers have figured out how to make a protein behave like a qubit in a living cell. Fluorescent proteins were used ...

A protester holds a placard describing the election of Donald Trump as a “climate disaster” during the demonstration. Protesters marched in Central London demanding climate justice and an end to ...
