The decades-long struggle to find a permanent place to dispose of nuclear waste will continue, probably for many years to come.
Aligning AIs with people’s goals and values is tricky. A new technique quantifies how far off human and machine are from each other.
Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But researchers discovered they can produce electrical signals like neurons.
Addressing the harmful chemical processes that accompany blunt force trauma to the brain can reduce the risk of long-term disability.
Having AI models say how confident they are in their answers could help minimize inaccurate responses. Just don’t be overconfident about their confidence scores.
Even though emeralds and rubies are very different colors, they both have the same secret ingredient in their atomic structure.
Writing computer code is helpful for people in many disciplines, but learning to program is hard. Large language models can help nonprogrammers skip the difficult details.
That depends on how you define ‘normal.’ The baseline has been creeping up as the planet warms.
As the climate changes and weather warms, the freezing line is shifting, bringing rain and ice to regions not prepared for it.
Learning to program requires mastering the nitty-gritty of code syntax. Generative AI turns out to be good at that. Adding AI to intro programming courses frees students to focus on problem-solving.
Too much pavement and old drainage systems are just two of the problems communities face.
An interstellar probe could help scientists answer fundamental questions about how the Sun influences Earth, space and other planets in the solar system.
Green algae carry drug-loaded nanoparticles directly to the lungs, reducing side effects in other organs and increasing treatment efficiency.
The Sun will be at its most explosive right around the time NASA plans to put people back on the Moon.
Researchers can use powerful microscopes to capture the tiny teeth in squid suckers.
New research demonstrates that the dye that gives nacho cheese its yellow-orange color can also make mouse skin see-through.
A proposed chemical recycling plant in western Michigan may provide a handful of jobs but little environmental benefit.
Some materials react and generate potentially helpful particles when exposed to light. Analytical AI can help scientists sort through materials to find ones with this property.
As roads have evolved, so too have bikes and bike helmets.
