Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify ...

Abstract: Free-space optical (FSO) communication has increasingly been recognized as a viable and competitive alternative to conventional radio frequency (RF) and fibre-optic systems, offering key ...

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely a mystery. By Carl Zimmer In 2024, two scientists from Google DeepMind ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

After poring over recordings from sperm whales in the Caribbean, UC Berkeley linguist Gasper Begus had an unlikely breakthrough. According to a new study from Begus and his colleagues with Project ...

Summary: A new brain decoding method called mind captioning can generate accurate text descriptions of what a person is seeing or recalling—without relying on the brain’s language system. Instead, it ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have announced a breakthrough in quantum error correction that could bring a large-scale quantum computer closer to ...
