In a new study, Yale researchers show that seeing tasks as a chance for children to learn reduces overparenting by about 50%. Parents are much less likely to intervene when their young children are getting dressed or performing other simple chores if those tasks are framed as learning opportunities, according to a new study by Yale researchers.

The technique could make AI systems better at complex tasks that involve variability. Fields ranging from robotics to medicine to political science are attempting to train AI systems to make meaningful decisions of all kinds.

Clearing the dinner table is a task easy enough for a child to master, but it's a major challenge for robots. Robots are great at doing repetitive tasks but struggle when they must do something new or interact with the disorder and mess of the real world. Such tasks become especially challenging when they have many steps.

Private school pupils in England no longer perform better at GCSE level than state school pupils in the core subjects of English, Maths and Science when the results are adjusted for socioeconomic background, finds a study by UCL researchers.

Population studies show adults over 80 are the world's fastest growing demographic and in Canada, they are quickly outpacing other age groups.

Scientists from our top-rated Physics department and Newcastle University have developed a groundbreaking method to improve the stability and efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a technology used in smartphones, TVs, and other electronic displays. This advancement utilises a unique type of molecule that has the potential to extend the lifespan of OLED devices significantly.

The world's thinnest spaghetti, about 200 times thinner than a human hair, has been created by a UCL-led research team.

Clinical language used around pregnancy loss can negatively affect patients' mental health and exacerbate their grief and trauma, and should be personalised where possible, according to research led by a UCL academic. In the first study of its kind, published today, social scientists from UCL, led by Dr Beth Malory (UCL English Language & Literature), gathered data from 391 participants from across the UK with lived experience of pregnancy loss to provide guidance for mass communication around loss.

New results from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveal that a young star, FU Orionis (FU Ori), is circled by a disk of material that is much hotter than expected-16,000 Kelvin, or nearly three times our Sun's surface temperature. That sizzling temperature is nearly twice as hot as previously believed.

New research shows that a grasp of grammar helps even very young children figure out when they must acquire new words. As young children, how do we build our vocabulary' Even by age 1, many infants seem to think that if they hear a new word, it means something different from the words they already know.

The Tree-D Fusion system integrates generative AI and genus-conditioned algorithms to create precise simulation-ready models of 600,000 existing urban trees across North America.

According to the fossil record, cetaceans - whales, dolphins and their relatives - evolved from four-legged land mammals that returned to the oceans beginning some 50 million years ago.
