Humanoids need to get better at retaining information and learning from their mistakes. Memory technology will be key to future breakthroughs. Humanoid-robot maker Figure AI is one of the companies ...

They are moving too fast for the normal mind to keep up, but elite drivers have more densely packed brain cells where it counts and use their minds more efficiently. By Erik Vance Imagine two athletes ...

Research psychologist Robert Epstein believes that the brain may function as a transducer connected to the “Other Side,” from which we receive information that shapes our consciousness. This neural ...

Computer geeks Tang Jie and Yang Zhilin were mere teacher and pupil more than a decade ago, with dreams of building a machine that could think like a human. Today, they are two of the Chinese ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Sections of a brain organoid with different cell types in different colors. Lab-grown "mini brains," called brain organoids, kind ...

Lab-grown “mini brains,” called brain organoids, kind of look like navy beans—and have very little in common with a functional human brain. These tiny clumps of neural tissue are grown from stem cells ...

I’m going to let you in on a secret. Every cell in your body has the potential to get smarter. I don’t mean this metaphorically, or in a “body keeps the score” kind of way. I mean that if lab-coated ...

Octopuses are clever enough to unscrew jars from the inside and throw sand at their annoying neighbors. But only a fraction of their smarts come from their doughnut-shaped brains. Over two-thirds of ...

We’ve covered a lot of noisy headlines about solid-state batteries, which will supposedly be “the kiss of death for gas cars,” by delivering hundreds of miles of range and then recharging in minutes.

Some brains appear to fight back against Alzheimer's by helping immature brain cells survive damage instead of succumbing to it. Understanding this natural resilience could point researchers toward ...

A new analysis supports the previously overlooked "brain lag" hypothesis—the idea that, in some primate lineages, the evolution of larger body size preceded the evolution of larger brain size—while ...
