Their high-fidelity computational model is a milestone both in biology, where it can help explain the octopus's impressive capability, and engineering. "The computational model is a useful testbed for ...

An Asian elephant named Mary living at the Berlin Zoo surprised researchers by figuring out how to use a hose to take her ...

Scientists have long known that it is impossible to separate or fuse a conscious mind — at least, that is what they thought.

The capability of biological systems to respond to environmental changes is realized by a complex dynamic adjustment of the interplay between genes, proteins and metabolites. For a deeper ...

For the past decade, scientists have relied almost exclusively on CRISPR-Cas systems for genome editing. Now, a smaller but equally efficient nuclease is here to compete.

Object permanence refers to understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of sight. Some people may misinterpret symptoms of ADHD as problems with object permanence, but research ...

What if every object we use was designed to work with ... has pursued for some 20 years in work that has mined the nexus of biology, engineering, and design. Now, Oxman is poised to introduce ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

When three massive objects meet in space, they influence each other through gravity in ways that evolve unpredictably. In a word: Chaos. That is the conventional understanding. Now, a researcher ...

demonstrating its proficiency in detecting critical underwater objects such as echinus, starfish, holothurian, scallop, and waterweeds. This capability positions MARS as a promising solution for ...
