Biological experiments are generating increasingly large and complex sets of data. This has made it difficult to reproduce experiments at other research laboratories in order to confirm - or refute - ...

Scientists can’t be everywhere all at once, as much as they’d like to. Many of the problems citizen science helps solve are ...

It turns out that containing the same process that powers the sun can be turbulent work. Even microscale eddies in fusion plasma experiments can cause performance degradation, according to a release ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. A clump of roughly 200,000 ...

Computer scientists at UBC and collaborators show that an AI system can conduct the entire research cycle independently, ...

Conducting research is hard; confirming the results is, too. And artificial intelligence isn’t yet ready to help, a major new ...

In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm, genes from skin cells, and the "shells" of existing egg cells. When you ...
