A neural network that mimics the biology of the brain can be loaded onto a microchip for faster and more efficient artificial intelligence. A biomimicking "spiking" neural network on a microchip has enabled KAUST researchers to lay the foundation for ...

From time-series data collected over 25 years, the researchers quantified the contributions of three salinity sources—highly treated wastewater and outflows from two rapidly urbanizing watersheds in Northern Virginia—to the rising concentration of sodium, a ...

Manta rays and whitetip reef sharks glide past socially distanced visitors at Rio de Janeiro's hangar-sized AquaRio aquarium. In a laboratory upstairs, above the main gallery, a new experiment is underway, one that marine scientists hope will enhance the ...

Chronic pain is among the most common chronic conditions in the United States, but estimates of its prevalence and impact vary widely. In 2019, the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and ...

The software enables researchers to design ways to take very small strands of DNA and combine them into complex structures with components such as rotors and hinges that can move to complete various tasks.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - We're about to put an end to the annual early year meteor shower drought as one of the more famous showers peaks Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. The Lyrids may not produce the number of meteors that the ...

Lafora disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disease which is initially developed with epileptic crises during adolescence and it evolves with a progressive degeneration of the nervous system until it causes death after ten years of its first onset.

There are "good reasons" for keeping the new variant out of the UK, scientist Prof Mark Walport says.

An enormous Antarctic iceberg whose journeys were probably the most well-documented in history has now melted away to nothing in the Atlantic ocean. A68 cracked off the Larsen C ice sheet on the Antarctic Peninsula in 2017 as one of the biggest icebergs ...

The waning diversity of plants and animals have caused great concern yet with deep implications: Is such diversity in microbial life, such as viruses, under threat as well? If so, how fast is this decline, and in which direction? According to a paper written by Dr.

According to the scientists, tiny DNA-based robots and other nanodevices could be used to deliver medicine inside our bodies, detect the presence of deadly pathogens and help manufacture increasingly smaller electronics. The team unveiled ...

Tarantulas, everyone's favorite hairy spiders, are found worldwide, inhabiting all continents except Antarctica. But how did they become so widespread? Females rarely leave their burrows, spiderlings stick close to where they hatch, and mature males only ...

For a few brief minutes, a suborbital rocket from NASA has an ambitious plan to seek out particles from interstellar space. A mission called Spatial Heterodyne Interferometric Emission Line Dynamics Spectrometer (SHIELDS) will lift off from the White Sands ...

A biomimicking neural network housed in a microchip could lead to faster and more efficient applications of artificial intelligence. spiking neural network Advances in artificial intelligence technology is leading to the development of neural networks that mimic ...

Russia's space agency said Tuesday it hoped to launch its own orbital station in 2025 as Moscow considers withdrawing from the International Space Station programme to go it alone. Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin said work had begun on the fist module ...

At the end of the month one of the most attractive phenomena will be appreciated. We tell you what it is about and how you can observe the moon in one of its best moments. Like all nighttime astronomical phenomena, the pink supermoon is an event that is ...

For Earth Day 2021 (April 22), NASA highlights science and technology that is helping us live more sustainably on our home planet and adapt to natural and human-caused changes. Here's how to participate. Sharing is caring! Tweet. Share. Pin. Mail. Share.

Meteor showers come and go throughout the year, but when can you spot them in 2021? By Megan Slack and Telegraph Reporters ...

A previously unknown species of dinosaur has been discovered by scientists in Chile's barren Atacama desert, an area the herbivore would have known millions of years ago as dense with lush foliage. The remains of Arackar licanantay, which means ...

A heat wave in 2012 continues to have a measurable effect on Greenland's ice sheets, causing meltwater that would otherwise be soaked up by a porous layer of ice to instead flow freely out to sea. A boat steers slowly through floating ice, and around ...
