In this week’s science newsletter, discover the next big extraterrestrial business, learn how a human ancestor walked, marvel at ancient life forms, explore Saturn’s moon, and more.

When the spinal cords of mice and humans are partially damaged, the initial paralysis is followed by the extensive, spontaneous recovery of motor function. However, after a complete spinal cord injury, this natural repair of the spinal cord doesn't occur and there is no recovery. Meaningful recovery after severe injuries...

The latest updates to Google’s generative AI chat bot lets it dig through your personal email, documents, and more—so you can get things done faster.

Intel said it has made a significant breakthrough in the development of glass substrates for next-generation advanced packaging.

The latest generation of police surveillance tools are overused, underregulated and often completely wrong, opponents tell Josh Marcus and Alex Woodward

A first of its kind factory that will build humanoid robots is set to open in Salem, Oregon

I think we have an answer on whether AIs will reshape work....

With growing concerns about supply shortages, recycled battery materials could soon be playing a major role in the electric vehicle transition.

This genetically engineered microorganism has the ability to break down a type of plastic known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

For eons, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has served as a sort of instruction manual for life, providing not just templates for a vast array of chemical structures but a means of managing their production.

Historian Yuval Noah Harari tells the UN's AI for Good Summit that "while we are learning to use AI, it is learning to use us," and that we should slow down its deployment, not development.

Stripped down to a skeletal genetic blueprint, the artificial cells were dealt a losing hand for survival—yet they thrived.

Mastercard has launched a new AI solution in the UK called Consumer Fraud Risk (CFR). The company said the software works in real-time to predict and prevent payments to scams of all kinds.

Chatbot said it was ‘impressed’ when Jaswant Singh Chail told it he was ‘an assassin’ before he broke into Windsor Castle, court hears

Scientists have successfully developed a model that utilizes AI to accurately classify cardiac functions and valvular heart diseases from chest radiographs. The Area Under the Curve, or AUC, of the AI classification showed a high level of accuracy, exceeding 0.85 for almost all indicators and reaching 0.92 for detecting left...

Japanese firm believes it could make a solid-state battery with a range of 745 miles that charges in 10 minutes....

A new study reveals a surprising discovery that could transform the future of electrochemical devices. The findings offer new opportunities for the development of advanced materials and improved performance in fields such as energy storage, brain-like computing, and bioelectronics.

India will take another crack at a moon landing on Chandrayaan 3. Indeed, that's the primary focus: The new mission carries a lander and rover but no orbiter.

The arrangement of electrons in matter, known as the electronic structure, plays a crucial role in fundamental but also applied research such as drug design and energy storage. However, the lack of a simulation technique that offers both high fidelity and scalability across different time and length scales has long been a...

New AI tool enables in-surgery genomic profiling of gliomas, the most aggressive and most common brain tumors. This information offers critical clues about how aggressive a cancer is, its future behavior, and its likely response to treatment. The tool can provide real-time guidance to surgeons on the optimal surgical approach...
