To researchers’ surprise, deep learning vision algorithms often fail at classifying images because they mostly take cues from textures, not shapes.

Contrary to popular belief, bacteria have organelles too. Scientists are now studying them for insights into how complex cells evolved.

Immunologists confirm an old hunch: T-cells identify what belongs in the body by timing how long they can bind to it.

Your expectations shape and quicken your perceptions. A new model that explains how that happens also suggests it’s time to update theories about sensory perception and decision making.

Promising efforts at disentangling the effects of genes and the environment on complicated traits may have been confounded by statistical problems.

Two new studies show that the brain’s navigation system changes how it represents physical space to reflect personal experience.

During development, cells seem to decode their fate through optimal information processing, which could hint at a more general principle of life.

As researchers delve deeper into the behavior of decentralized collective systems, they’re beginning to question some of their initial assumptions.

The brain can’t directly encode the passage of time, but recent work hints at a workaround for putting timestamps on memories of events.
