We summarize the week's scientific breakthroughs every Thursday.
Imminent loss of NASA's Aura and Canada's SCISAT will severely diminish scientists’ ability to monitor ozone-depleting substances in the stratosphere.
A new set of artificial intelligence models could make protein sequencing even more powerful for better understanding cell biology and diseases.
Controlled fusion, solar sails or ion engines could someday help spaceships travel between star systems.
Salto the jumping robot can take a flying leap and land on a narrow pipe — just like a squirrel soaring from branch to branch.
AI models are growing ever-more capable, accurate and impressive. The question of if they represent “general intelligence” is increasingly moot.
AI medical benchmark tests fall short because they don’t test efficiency on real tasks such as writing medical notes, experts say.
By squirting chemicals onto a person’s tongue to taste, a new device aims to replicate food flavors for fuller virtual experiences.
Biohybrid robots made with plant and fungal tissue are more sensitive to their surroundings.
New brain-inspired hardware, architectures and algorithms could lead to more efficient, more capable forms of AI.
