A machine-learning "speech clock" trained on nearly 3,000 people in Latin America estimated age from acoustic and linguistic speech features, and a larger gap between estimated speech age and chronolo…
A machine-learning analysis of speech from nearly 3,000 Spanish-speaking adults in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru found that a larger "speech age gap" — the difference between chronologi…
MIT researchers increased the speed of an insect-scale flying robot by about 450 percent and its acceleration by about 250 percent using a new AI-based, two-part control system, the university announc…
Advanced AI models from the GPT, Claude, and Llama families spontaneously conform to the majority opinion, with GPT-4 Turbo and Claude 3 Opus achieving 100 percent consensus in experiments published i…
A study published in Science Advances found that 1,000 AI agents can spontaneously reach consensus without instructions, rewards, or leadership, suggesting large groups of AI agents may coordinate wit…
A new study in Science Advances found that groups of up to 1,000 AI agents from the Claude, GPT, and Llama families spontaneously reached consensus without any instruction to cooperate, following the …
Two complementary Northwestern University studies published in Science Advances found that humans and mice share an ancient neural system for processing smells, despite vastly different breathing patt…
A new test by an unnamed research team found that AI language models preserve distinctive, visible business facts such as signature dishes 83% of the time but completely omit structural differentiator…
Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) created a virtual robot with a brain-inspired neural network that learns language faster when driven by curiosity, achieving genui…
A new DNA-origami encryption device described in Science Advances demonstrates information storage in molecular structure, selective molecular recognition, and key-triggered physical state transitions…
A new study published in *Science Advances* challenges the 70-year-old theory that the human brain evolved in layers, with rational systems stacked on top of primitive emotional ones. Researchers led …
Researchers at Florida Atlantic University found that blind Mexican cavefish have evolved to be light-averse, with neurons that respond to light instead of darkness, revealing how evolution repurposes…
French scientists developed an experimental wine bottle that tracks oxygen movement through the cork, revealing that corks actively regulate oxygen transfer and act as an ingredient in wine aging. The…
Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a 16-element electronic nose chip that combines gas sensors and machine learning to identify food types, spoilage, and allergens, detecting as little as 0.05 …
In a study published in *Science Advances*, researchers found that multi-agent systems can develop biased conventions even when every individual agent passes bias tests with statistically clean result…
A multidisciplinary team led by Professor Douglas Kelley at the University of Rochester used physics-informed neural networks to infer brain-wide glymphatic fluid velocities from MRI tracer videos. Th…
A new study published in *Science Advances* found that most undergraduates believe marginalized communities deserve extra protection from offensive speech, but these values often waver under ideologic…
Scientists have discovered 567-million-year-old fossils in Canada's Northwest Territories, providing the oldest evidence of sexual reproduction and locomotion in animals, pushing back the origins of a…
The proliferation of low-quality, AI-generated scientific papers is driven by a "citation revolution" that prioritizes quantitative metrics over genuine discovery. This incentive system encourages sci…
