Aided by modern computer algorithms, the team mapped roughly 7,000 neural connections of both sexes of C. elegans, while landmarking all synaptic locations. | Continue reading
A week after transplant, the dissected neural clusters spontaneously formed multiple networks, and the team found synchronized waves throughout the network. | Continue reading
Children have imagination; they can ask themselves abstract questions and then, from very small datasets and experiences, they can anticipate the solution. | Continue reading
Because the system only detects body movement, there’s no issue with facial recognition—or perhaps any identification—based on recordings alone. | Continue reading
GenTech have woken up to a reality where a life lived “plugged in” has significant consequences for their individual privacy and are starting to push back. | Continue reading
Rather than acting like a single brain that strives to achieve a particular goal, the central AI would be more like a search engine. | Continue reading
Neural networks are typically trained to have very high confidence in the correct label and consider all incorrect labels equally wrong. | Continue reading
The technologies being tested today are designed for consciously taking control of some of the key physical processes that shape our world. | Continue reading
AIs are taking on content generation, multiplying your music repertoire, developing plotlines, and even bringing your favorite actors back to the screen. | Continue reading

Electric cars were estimated to surpass combustion-engine cars in affordability by 2026, but experts now think it could happen as soon as 2022. | Continue reading
Enthusiasts will be able to play with quantum computers from their homes. This shift will occur much sooner than most people realize. | Continue reading
The hope is that artists will create collaborative compositions that shed genre labels and enable greater collaboration across cultures and geography. | Continue reading
A new report from the Rand Corporation focuses on how "narrow" AI might alter the shaky nuclear equilibrium we’ve been living in since the Trinity Test gave birth to the nuclear age. | Continue reading
Even with powerful technologies that at times make us feel superhuman, the interfaces are still crippled by poor ergonomics. | Continue reading
I imagine a future in which AI and robotics will allow us to find answers and accomplish tasks quickly and easily, simply by stating our desires. | Continue reading
After a prolonged technology “winter,” the hardware and software that power VR and AR applications are accelerating at an extraordinary rate. | Continue reading
With space-based solar power, we could solve our energy and greenhouse gas emission problems with little environmental impact. | Continue reading
Technological advances can expose sinister aspects of human nature. We must take care with the role we allow technology to play in the future of food. | Continue reading
Some of the ideas verge on science fiction. But Y Combinator wants to fund moonshots with a high likelihood of failure but potentially massive returns. | Continue reading
As computer systems and software have developed, so have AI’s potential use cases for research into our planet, the solar system, and the universe. | Continue reading
Now, researchers can watch battery materials as they undergo the energy storage process, analyzing even their atomic structure and composition in real time. | Continue reading
One of the most important conversations we'll have as a species centers around data ownership. How much are we willing to pay for our freedom? | Continue reading
Integrating multiple memories is the first cognitive step that lets us gain new insight into experiences, and generalize patterns across those encounters. | Continue reading
Besides healing wounds, this technique could be useful for repairing skin damage, countering the effects of aging, and better understanding skin cancer. | Continue reading
Researchers found that analyzing satellite data could help increase understanding of the link between peoples’ environment and obesity prevalence. | Continue reading
Propelled by government funds, smart infrastructure overhauls, leading AI research, and driven entrepreneurs, China’s AI ecosystem is unstoppable. | Continue reading
We’re rapidly approaching the era of abundant knowledge—a time when you can know anything you want, anywhere you want, anytime you want. | Continue reading
eXp Realty's market cap crossed $1 billion on the first day of trading. This growth is largely the result of the company’s use of an online virtual world. | Continue reading

One of the biggest motivators of contemporary plasma science is the promise of controlled thermonuclear fusion. | Continue reading
By analyzing the mortality rates of nearly 4,000 Italian super-centenarians, a team found that the risk of death suddenly tapers off in the very-old. | Continue reading
What if there’s a way for machines to learn as quickly and flexibly as humans do? A new DeepMind algorithm gives us a glimpse of that future. | Continue reading
EyeWire Museum is one-of-its-kind: the 3D interactive playground showcases neurons in a mouse’s retina in exquisite detail, down to every bend and turn in a cell’s sinuous branches. | Continue reading
The Earth BioGenome project aims to sequence the DNA of all known life on Earth. It's estimated to take 10 years, cost $4.7 billion, and require more than 200 petabytes of digital storage space. | Continue reading
In developing countries, particularly African ones, millions of people are skipping the technological evolution process, leapfrogging over now-obsolete technologies and going straight to modern fixes. As a bonus, these often happen to be green, sustainable, and relatively cheap. | Continue reading

Some technologies are so cool they make you do a double take. Case in point: robots being controlled by rat brains. Kevin Warwick, once a cyborg and still a researcher in cybernetics at the University of Reading, has been working on creating neural networks that can control machi … | Continue reading
