A new analysis of a mysterious skeleton discovered in a Westminster Abbey sarcophagus in the 1800s has identified two likely candidates.
Water behaves very strangely under extreme conditions beyond Earth, according to researchers at the University of Nevada.
Biohybrid computers made of organoids, tiny human brain models using real cells, have reached an important new benchmark.
Scientists say they are one step closer to reviving the long-extinct dodo, thanks to new advancements in artificial intelligence.
Climate change is altering ocean conditions, making radar signals travel farther or creating dangerous blind spots for warships.
Scientists are exploring light in entirely new ways with the creation of a “light-powered brain,” capable of recognizing hidden information within patterns of light.
This September we celebrate the birthday and legacy of IONS Founder Dr. Edgar Mitchell. Thank you to everyone who made a gift in his honor. As a pioneering astronaut (one of the few to walk on the moon!) he experienced an epiphany in space that changed the trajectory of his life, and continues to impact people worldwide. The post The Mainstream Awakening: How Consciousness Is Taking Over Popular Media appeared first on IONS .

Congratulations to the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab class of 2026! This year, BAIR celebrates another remarkable group of Ph.D. graduates whose curiosity, creativity, and perseverance have pushed the frontiers of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Their work spans the breadth of modern AI — robotics and embodied intelligence, large language models and reasoning, computer vision, generative modeling, AI safety, human-AI interaction, AI for science and healthcare, and much more. Along the way, they have published influential research, built systems with real-wo
Lost for eight decades, an unpublished manuscript by Erwin Schrödinger reveals the scientist’s previously unknown quantum musings.
Experiments show future forensic crime scene investigators could collect DNA evidence from thin air left behind by simulated home invaders.
Scientists have produced electrical phenomena in the lab that could offer clues to how mysterious ball lightning forms in nature.
