Such chips have powered the rise of generative AI systems.Credit: Sergio Flores/Bloomberg/Getty Artificial intelligence (AI) systems with human-level reasoning are unlikely to be achieved through the approach and technology that have dominated the current boom in AI,…
On March 2, Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost made history, becoming the first commercial lunar lander to successfully touchdown on the moon’s surface. The groundbreaking lander is wasting no time in getting to work. According to NASA, the joint public-private mission…
Plasticity differs from evolution because it happens within an individual’s lifetime. Understanding a polyp’s adjustments can therefore help biologists grasp the limits of adaptation in an era of unprecedented change. How quickly does coral grow? How densely can polyps pack…

When we talk about mass extinction events, the first case that usually comes to mind is when an asteroid struck Earth about 66 million years ago and triggered the extinction of the dinosaurs. However, the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event was not…
Physics dazzled Miles Cranmer from an early age. His grandfather, a physics professor at the University of Toronto, gave him books on the subject, and his parents took him to open houses at universities near their home in southern Ontario,…
Experimental setup for quantifying population dynamics along the thermal gradient. Credit: Ecology (2025). DOI: 10.1002 Researchers at Rice University have uncovered a critical link between rising temperatures and declines in a species’ population, shedding new light on how global warming…
