Mathematical model predicts self-organized learning in real neurons


The free energy principle predicted how real neural connections changed as neurons “learned” in a dish.

Finding real rewards in a virtual world


A new study shows that mice who learn to find goals in virtual reality use their hippocampus the same was as in the real world.

Millions of years of galaxy evolution simulated in mere months with the help of AI


When a machine learning AI was asked to help simulate galaxy evolution, processing time went from years to months.

Godzilla-sized zooplankton for better aquafarming


Scientists have created extra large zooplankton to help feed the fish in aquafarms. The new plankton were created using an ion beam to generate mutations.

Stable green hydrogen production in a PEM electrolyzer


A little structurally manipulated manganese goes a long way when using a PEM electrolyzer to make hydrogen from water.
