Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there are still huge hurdles to overcome.

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: ...

Is humanity at a crossroads, potentially in the crosshairs of malign AI? We may not know, but best not to ignore the ...

Cleaner fish interacted with a mirror in their tank in a way that suggests ‘contingency testing’ intelligence, a higher form of smarts typically found in mammals. This finding coupled with faster self ...

Researchers studying a deep-sea octopus called Muusoctopus robustus have found thousands of the animals congregating at hydrothermal springs near an underwater mountain off California, raising fresh ...

Bumblebee cognition looks small only until behavior is measured carefully. Experiments have shown play-like ball rolling that fits established animal-play criteria, and newer work demonstrates social ...

Gabriel Gomes built an agent that turns plain English into physical experiments, enabling research that humans alone could never sustain ...

The eight arms framework provides a structured approach to transforming safety culture and practices for complex, unpredictable environments.

When it comes to identifying the smartest animal on the planet, many might quickly think of humans, or perhaps dolphins or chimpanzees given their notable intelligence and problem-solving abilities.

For today's cook I am testing octopus at 3 different temperatures to find out what is the ideal temp to have it sous vide. To go with this amazing octopus I also decided to do a side dish that ended ...

The tech industry is making sure kids will be hooked on AI for generations — by proactively sinking its tendrils deep into the education system, long before we understand the effects of the tech on ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to disprove the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity put forth by ...
