New wet-lab methods can be hard to share owing to their complexity, but with a little extra effort, you can give users a leg-up in getting started. New wet-lab methods can be hard to share owing to their complexity, but with a little extra effort, you can give users a leg-up in getting started.

Warmer years with earlier, shorter growing seasons and more winter rain — conditions associated with climate change — result in better wine.

A recent commentary by Alex de Vries, the founder of Digiconomist, raised concerns about the substantial energy footprint of AI.

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) comes with promises of helping coders code faster, drivers drive safer, and making daily tasks less time-consuming. But in a commentary published October 10 in the journal <em>Joule</em>, the founder of Digiconomist demonstrates that the tool, when adopted widely, could have a large energy footprint, which in the future may exceed the power demands of some countries.</p>

Research publishing October 5 in the journal Current Biology finds that mammals living in South Africa's Greater Kruger National Park, home to one of the world's largest remaining lion populations, are far more afraid of hearing human voices than lion vocalizations or hunting sounds such as dogs barking or gunshots.

I was an undocumented immigrant from Peru who never dreamed of becoming a scientist. Now I mentor Hispanic young people to study STEM fields.

Large language models and other artificial-intelligence systems could be excellent at synthesizing scientific evidence for policymakers — but only with appropriate safeguards and humans in the loop.

Even without a central brain, jellyfish can learn from past experiences like humans, mice, and flies, scientists report for the first time on September 22 in the journal Current Biology. They trained Caribbean box jellyfish (Tripedalia cystophora) to learn to spot and dodge obstacles. The study challenges previous notions that advanced learning requires a centralized brain and sheds light on the evolutionary roots of learning and memory.
