Packaging potassium sulfate, a fertilizer vital to the planet’s food supply, is visually striking—not because of what you see, but because you don’t see much at all. In China’s Xinjiang region, home ...

"To fit more transistors on a chip, engineers across the industry are eyeing a pivot to an approach familiar to urban planners: build up. On Thursday, IBM announced it has created a chip that uses ...

An audacious trial will test psilocybin in people over age sixty to see if increases plasticity in healthy aging brains. A handful of healthy senior citizens are about to trip on psilocybin—to see if ...

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart. Try balancing a ruler vertically on the palm of your hand while ...

The inner workings of large AI systems remain largely opaque, raising significant safety and trust issues. Researchers have now developed a technique to extract and manipulate the internal concepts ...
