Decades of research has shown promise for using microbiome science to solve several problems facing agriculture, but these findings have not yet been translated to practical recommendations for ...

When you swing a tennis racket or catch a set of keys, you aren’t thinking about wind resistance or gravity. Yet, to perform that motion, your brain is solving a massive physics problem in ...

2025’s most surprising computational revelations included a new fundamental relationship between time and space, an undergraduate who overthrew a 40-year-old conjecture, and an important milestone in ...

Connecting the dots: For the first time in more than two decades years, computer science enrollment across the University of California system has fallen, a drop some educators see as a reflection of ...

MIT researchers unveil a new fine-tuning method that lets enterprises consolidate their "model zoos" into a single, continuously learning agent.

When my cofounder and I were accepted into a competitive startup accelerator program in fall 2025, we applied with an ambitious idea: to build an “AI scientist” for machine learning research. What ...
