Far beyond Neptune, at the cold edge of our solar system, millions of icy objects drift quietly in a region called the Kuiper ...

Human language may seem messy and inefficient compared to the ultra-compact strings of ones and zeros used by computers—but our brains actually prefer it that way. New research reveals that while ...

The comparison focused on three-dimensional geometry rather than decoration. This matters because cartonnage masks were often shaped in molds: If two objects were formed in the same mold, they can ...

Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University ...

A new robot could solve one of the biggest challenges facing indoor farmers: manual pollination. Indoor farms, also known as ...

Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.

Digital tools allow archaeologists to identify similarities between fragments and artifacts and potentially recover ...

Plenty of our childhoods had at least one math teacher who made the (ultimately erroneous) claim that we needed to learn to do math because we wouldn’t always have a calculator in our ...

The new AI-based graphics tool bridges the gap between perfect imaging of objects in lab environments and capturing messy ...

New research is proving persistent gender gaps in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers can't be ...
