To buffer the brain against menaces in the blood, a dynamic, multi-tiered system of protection is built into the brain’s blood vessels.

Real data can be hard to get, so researchers are turning to synthetic data to train their artificial intelligence systems.

A series of new papers describes how to fully characterize key dynamical systems with relatively little data.

Wave-science researcher Ton van den Bremer and Steven Strogatz discuss how rogue waves can form in relatively calm seas and whether their threat can be predicted.

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close?

By measuring inflated helium nuclei, physicists have challenged our best understanding of the force that binds protons and neutrons.

A novel type of neural network is helping physicists with the daunting challenge of data analysis.

The marine geochemist Chris German brings decades of experience studying seafloor hydrothermal vents to NASA’s preparations for visits to other ocean worlds in our solar system.

The puzzling behavior of black hole interiors has led researchers to propose a new physical law: the second law of quantum complexity.
