Slime mold is one of the strangest organisms on Earth. It has no brain, no nervous system, and yet it can solve complex problems that seem to require intelligence.

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...

They raid compost bins, outsmart latches and sometimes look gleeful doing it. A new study in Animal Behaviour suggests raccoons may not just be opportunistic—they may be genuinely curious.

Your brain could be gently coaxed into working on complex problems while you sleep, making you better able to tackle them the next day. Now, Karen Konkoly at Northwestern University in Illinois and ...

Another day, another Google AI model. Google has really been pumping out new AI tools lately, having just released Gemini 3 in November. Today, it’s bumping the flagship model to version 3.1. The new ...

A straightforward conjecture about runners moving around a track turns out to be equivalent to many complex mathematical ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

With Super Bowl LX in the books and the last of the league’s coaching vacancies filled, the next major period of NFL drama is the quarterback carousel. While surprises could always push this number ...
