The study presents new evidence that infants are capable of learning words solely through exposure to language. Human language enables us to learn the meanings of words for things we’ve never directly experienced. We do this effortlessly in everyday conversation, often using context to infer the me
Mysterious magnetar flares might be the hidden engines behind gold, uranium—and maybe life itself.
Scientists at CERN have achieved what medieval alchemists only dreamed of: turning lead into gold.
A new study combining satellite imagery with genetic analysis reveals that climate and land use changes are driving increased vegetation growth in Europe’s mountain regions, ultimately leading to a decline in the genetic diversity of medicinal plants such as Greek mountain tea. Mountain regions a.
A bold new quantum theory of gravity may finally bridge the long-standing rift between Einstein’s general relativity and quantum field theory. This potential “Theory of Everything” could answer some of the deepest mysteries in science—from black hole singularities to the origins of the universe—w
A mathematician has developed an algebraic solution to an equation that was long thought to be unsolvable. A groundbreaking discovery from a UNSW Sydney mathematician may finally offer a solution to one of algebra’s toughest problems: how to solve high-degree polynomial equations. Polynomials
Crystals are not alive, yet they grow, form complex structures, and even conduct electricity. Could life emerge from crystals rather than carbon-based molecules? Explore the intriguing possibility of crystal-based lifeforms, the challenges they would face, and the conditions where they might thrive. We journey to five exotic worlds—Vulcan, Ribbon World, Longenacht, Telluride, and Tempest—each offering unique environments where crystalline life might take hold. Could such life develop naturally, or might humanity one day engineer it? Join us as we dive into the cutting-edge science and speculative possibilities of crystalline biology.

Editors:
A new AI model from Tokyo called the Continuous Thought Machine mimics how the human brain works by thinking in real-time “ticks” instead of layers. Built by Sakana, this brain-inspired AI allows each neuron to decide when it’s done thinking, showing signs of what experts call proximate consciousness. With no fixed depth and a flexible thinking process, it marks a major shift away from traditional Transformer models in artificial intelligence.
🔍 What’s Inside:
Sakana’s brain-like AI thinks in real-time ticks instead of fixed layers.
