As neuroscience brings greater understanding of the human brain, experts are applying those findings in the classroom to improve how we teach and learn.

We are surrounded by hysteria about the future of artificial intelligence and robotics—hysteria about how powerful they will become, how quickly, and what they will do to jobs. I recently saw a story in ­MarketWatch that said robots will take half of today’s…

Earlier this year, 116 technology luminaries signed an open letter imploring the United Nations to ban “lethal autonomous weapons systems,” warning that they would “permit armed conflict to…

The global movement for open access to publicly-funded research stems from the sensible proposition that if the government has used taxpayers' money to fund research, the publication of the results

Researchers are keeping little bits of brain tissue on life support long enough to dye, sequence, zap, and map out individual neurons in 3-D.

It could one day be used to treat a range of inherited diseases.

Here’s the thing about quantum mechanics: it works on Earth, but how do we know that it works elsewhere—like in space? That requires testing it over and over again, building wild experiments that send particles all over the planet. After some new results…

There’s something eerily dystopian about the lives of cells. Like the young heroes in popular teen novels, cells are born into stringent organ “societies,” destined to perform specific roles preordained...

You live and then you die and then you rot in a hole—or so say the elites, with their glasses, and their PhDs in neuroscience. This bummer reality has never appealed much to Americans, 72 percent of whom believe in some kind of afterlife. It’s a comparatively…

After a disappointing clinical trial in 2015, scientists are trying anew to mend failing hearts with a gene.

This article contains insights on Democracy 2.0 – a blockchain-based political utopia where people can vote with bitcoin tokens.

Countries with the best standard of living

For the first time, MIT scientists have identified distinct brain wave patterns related to different kinds of learning. These neural signatures might someday be enhanced to improve how we learn both motor skills and facts.

By reimagining the kinks and folds of origami as atoms in a lattice, researchers are uncovering strange behavior hiding in simple structures.

It would also produce eight times as much power as a hydrogen bomb.

Opinion: The world is no longer dominated by nations. We're in a non-state, net-state era.

They will never sit on your desk, and they will most certainly never fit in your pocket. Today, they’re fragile, and need to be kept at temperatures close to absolute zero. Quantum computers aren’t much like the desktop PCs we’re all so familiar with—they’re…

The Alphabet unit says it expects to allow passengers to ride in truly driverless cars in its tests within the next few months.

A leading researcher says he’s working on such a model but can’t get funding.

Peter Diamandis recently interviewed Ray Kurzweil at the Googleplex for a 90-minute webinar on disruptive and dangerous ideas. Watch and read to learn more!
