It turns out that motherhood may completely alter women's brains. Scientists have found that hormone therapy (HT) may have some variable results on women because women respond differently depending whether or not they had children.
Imagine if handheld tools knew what needed to be done and could guide an inexperienced user.
Imagine a robot that learns by trial and error--just like a human. UC Berkeley researchers have now developed algorithms that enable robots to learn motor tasks in this way, marking a milestone in artificial intelligence.
Scientists have found that the massive explosions that mark the end of a star's life work with supermassive black holes to sweep gas out of a galaxy's star-forming factory.
3D printing has been moving forward by leaps and bounds and now, scientists have used it to create something a bit unusual: artificial eggs.
A bizarre virus that survives in nearly boiling acid may yield new clues to treat deadly diseases.
NASA's Mars Curiosity rover detected a mysterious methane spike on Mars in 2014. But what caused this sudden spike, though, is now open for debate.
A rare, genetic mutation can keep you from feeling pain. Scientists have found that this mutation, though, can have some serious consequences.
Drones may be getting a bit smarter. Scientists have created a new vision and learning system that allow drones to learn a control themselves without relying on a GPS signal or trained personnel.
Scientists may have found a way to reverse aging--at least in human cell lines. They've discovered a new method to reverse aging, and have even found the genes partly responsible for some of the characteristics of aging.
Determining whether or not a child is malnourished is crucial to getting them help. Now, researchers have discovered that measuring a child's upper arm circumference is a much better method than using current weight-based guidelines to determine malnourishment.
Anti-pollution rules may have uncertain effects. Scientists have found that air pollution regulations issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may not be as effective as believed.
