Scientists are beginning to show that learning is not exclusive to neurons and synapses. At the scale of billionths of a meter, tiny channels called nanopores are starting to display brain-like ...

Scientists have long suspected that hormones quietly tune how the brain learns, but the idea of a single, hidden “switch” has usually been more metaphor than map. What is emerging from decades of ...

STEM careers are on the rise. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in STEM occupations is expected to grow by 10.4 percent from 2023 to 2033, compared to just 3.6 percent for ...

After uncovering a unifying algorithm that links more than 20 common machine-learning approaches, researchers organized them into a 'periodic table of machine learning' that can help scientists ...

The idea of attending a school class in a woodland is appealing to many - but leafy settings are not necessarily more effective for learning, scientists say, though more research is needed. Some say ...

Modern large language models (LLMs) might write beautiful sonnets and elegant code, but they lack even a rudimentary ability to learn from experience. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of ...
