Intelligence requires the whole brain

Contactless diagnosis: research team develops innovative measurement technology to determine vital signs.

A recent innovation from Johns Hopkins researchers enables deeper insights into gene function and disease-linked mutations.

An international team of researchers involving the University of Bern has investigated the consequences of deforestation and degradation of tropical forests. They were able to show that there are "winner" and "loser" species, whereby the displacement of the "losers" can lead to a decline in the ecological functions of tropical forests.

Space mission "BepiColombo" delivers data from the innermost planet in our solar system for the first time.

A groundbreaking navigation device can help people with visual impairment perform a location task as well as sighted people, new research shows.

Rats release trapped companions, subsequently enabling them to collaborate for acquiring food. Experiments conducted at the University of Bern established this connection between obliging liberation behaviour and coordinated cooperation. These results may point towards a biological basis for empathy, presenting new perspectives on the evolutionary origins of compassionate behaviour.

A new technique identifies and removes the training examples that contribute most to a machine-learning model's failures.

Wildfires have turned the Far North into a carbon emitter, putting the region's permafrost at risk, according to an alarming new report co-authored by UdeM researcher Oliver Sonnentag.

The short-term boost our brains get after we do exercise persists throughout the following day, suggests a new study led by UCL researchers.

A Spanish team led from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) has observed the formation of a new quantum state in ultrathin materials by cooling a Mott insulator below 11 Kelvin.
