Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and ...

The room we are in is locked. It is windowless and lit from above by a fluorescent bulb. In the hallway outside—two stories beneath the city of London—attendants in dark suits patrol silently, giving ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...

Here’s a cheat sheet for decoding this year’s A.I.-driven tech lingo, from RAG to superintelligence. By Brian X. Chen Brian X. Chen is The Times’s lead consumer technology writer and the author of ...

We can't protect what we don't understand. From decoding wolf howls to making sense of millions of citizen-science sightings, we explore the tools helping researchers understand the wild in new ways.

Before a car crash in 2008 left her paralysed from the neck down, Nancy Smith enjoyed playing the piano. Years later, Smith started making music again, thanks to an implant that recorded and analysed ...

Some Dell and HP laptop owners have been befuddled by their machines’ inability to play HEVC/H.265 content in web browsers, despite their machines’ processors having integrated decoding support.

For centuries, humans have drawn a line between themselves and other species, initially claiming that other animals couldn’t feel pain. Science proved they could. Then the argument shifted: Animals ...

Abstract: In this article, the encoding-decoding-based resilient state estimation problem is investigated for the mobile robot localization with state saturation under the buffer-aided mechanism. To ...

History has seen many waves of Egyptomania but, until the 19th century, scholars remained baffled by the many repeated symbols and motifs wrapped around every new find, from majestic monuments to ...

Most experimental brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that have been used for synthesizing human speech have been implanted in the areas of the brain that translate the intention to speak into the muscle ...

(a) Left: encoding of blink information, the schematic indicates that the brain generates specific commands and stimulates the eyes to blink accordingly when a specific situation is encountered.
