New Mexico Environment Department officials hope to stop the spread of a harmful toxic chemical before it can impact the drinking water on a piece of sovereign land.

A new class of photonic devices enables the precise broadcasting of light from the chip into free space in a scalable way, which could lead to advanced displays, high-speed optical communications, and ...

Nvidia is partnering with Thinking Machines Lab to supply its next-generation Vera Rubin chips for training large AI models.

Laboratory reference ranges reflect methods, populations, and policies, and experienced clinicians interpret them in context rather than applying fixed cutoffs theoretically.

A recent study published in Neuroscience of Consciousness provides evidence that dreaming about a specific problem helps people find solutions. Researchers used sound cues during sleep to successfully ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Tiny electronic devices, called microelectronics, may one day be printed as easily as words on a page, thanks to new research from scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National ...

Born in Brooklyn in 1942, Freed’s scientific trajectory began early; he and his brother Jack, who himself would go on to ...

In high-stakes settings like medical diagnostics, users often want to know what led a computer vision model to make a certain prediction, so they can determine whether to trust its output. Concept ...

New spacecraft techniques propose using CubeSats, laser rangefinding, and precise Doppler measurements to determine the mass of potentially hazardous asteroids during flyby missions.

Evolution is biology's powerful method of engineering. It works by generating many variants of DNA, RNA, and proteins inside cells and letting nature "select" the organism that performs best.
