Two new federally funded studies offer detailed views of proteins repairing broken DNA inside tightly packed chromatin, and of the molecular toolkit they assemble at a break, with potential implicatio ...

In the novel “Ply,” Hernan Diaz imagines a ruined New York, a fractured society, and the ultimate structure of existence.

Artificial-intelligence systems can generate hypotheses, design experiments and analyse data — but humans still need to decide what makes sense.

MIT researchers have developed a robotic laboratory that can independently assemble and align optics experiments. In a ...

In previous research, scientists found that high-volume music led to unhealthy food choices, perhaps because people had elevated excitement levels due to the loudness. By contrast, lower-volume music ...

A new report by Google, Google DeepMind and MIT finds that researchers are using AI…a lot. It’s just not helping as much in the lab ...

In order to learn more about brain disorders, scientists reported on Wednesday that they had created extraordinary mice whose brains are filled with millions of human neurons.

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity does not discriminate. Matter, antimatter – it's all the same ...

Scientists have found a new way to create a controlled beam of muonium, an exotic atom containing a heavier cousin of the electron. The advance could allow researchers to test for the first time ...

For decades, many scientists have thought that a single type of starter cell gives rise to the entire brain. But experiments now challenge that fundamental picture, providing evidence that it takes ...

Mister C and the Science Crew are ready to put the DIY into today’s adventure. We’re going to take the biggest science concepts we can find and see if we can find a way to do it ourselves! Get ready ...

For years, ecologists have used soft plasticine models shaped like caterpillars, fruit, bird eggs, snakes and frogs to study interactions between predators and their potential prey. The idea is simple ...
