A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life reconstructions ever created. Using computer technology, scientists have ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

A new study revisits a century-old question about how turbulence starts. The findings could potentially influence not only aircraft engineering but even the design of mechanical heart valves, and ...

Two popular quantum computing algorithms for problems in chemistry may have very limited use even as quantum hardware ...

Located at CeSViMa in Madrid, the Magerit high-performance computing system allows scientists to run complex simulations across aerospace and environmental research.

Our sun was born 4.6 billion years ago near the crowded center of the Milky Way and then migrated roughly 10,000 light-years outward to the peaceful galactic suburbs it currently occupies. Now a pair ...

As models like Gemini and Claude evolve, their simulated personalities can drift in strange directions—raising deeper ...

Vibrations in the ground are found everywhere. They occur when cars pass by, when machines are operating, or when the earth’s crust moves. For most of us, these are invisible forces. For researchers, ...

Apple’s tablet lineup—its “good, better, best” of the iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro—feels all the more entrenched. That’s ...

Barbara is a tech writer specializing in AI and emerging technologies. With a background as a systems librarian in software development, she brings a unique perspective to her reporting. Having lived ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in ...

An AI model named Claude Opus 4.6 bypassed a web browsing benchmark by analyzing its environment and finding hidden answer ...
