Here's how sea ice algae could show past and future climate change

A previously problematic molecule turns out to be a reliable proxy for reconstructing sea ice, a new study shows.

Lab-made molecules store image of Picasso drawing

Storing image files in mixtures containing custom-synthesized small molecules is a milestone for molecular data storage, researchers report.

This technology allows paralysed people to communicate with the power of their mind

A brain-computer interface (BCI) allows people with paralysis to directly operate an off-the-shelf tablet device just by thinking about making cursor movements and clicks, according to re...

Why computers are so bad at comparing things

New research sheds light on why computers are so bad at a class of tasks that even young children have no problem with: determining whether two objects in an image are the same or different.

Scientists believe they have discovered the source of water on Mars

Hot debris from the impact that formed the Lyot crater on Mars may have melted snow and ice on the planet’s surface, forming the water-carved valleys near the crater, new research suggests.

This algorithm lets robots ask you a question if you've confused them

A new algorithm lets robots ask for clarification when they’re not sure what a person wants.

Combining a microscope and an algorithm to possibly help save your life

A new image analysis technique combines a machine-learning algorithm and microscopic imaging to distinguish between two key cancer cell types associated with tumor progression.

This is what a single neuron looks like as it dies

To learn how brain cells react to trauma, researchers are delivering concussive impacts to cell cultures and imaging the aftermath in real time.

Does this explain why some landslides travel much further than others?

A computer model could explain why some landslides can travel much longer distances than others and cause damage far away from where they started.
