In examining the effects of paternal alcohol consumption on fetal alcohol syndrome, a groundbreaking new study reveals that it can take over a month for negative alcohol effects to wear off.
A University of Toronto undergrad among an international team of researchers unleashing deep learning in the search for extraterrestrial civilizations.
The project is an upscale of a successful pilot built in 2013, and can be expanded further to a network of hubs producing fertiliser for farmer cooperatives.
Researchers from University of Toronto developed an AI system that creates and then sings a Christmas song based by analyzing the visual components of an uploaded image. With the help of CUDA…
A new study led by UCLA Health scientists shows highly creative people’s brains appear to work differently from others;, with an atypical approach that makes distant connections more quickly by bypassing the “hubs” seen in non-creative brains.
Oxidation radically alters everything we perceive in food. It changes the flavor, aroma, color, and texture of everything we eat and drink. Without oxidation, tea would taste unbearably bitter. Oxidation is what unlocks tea’s hidden flavors by removing bitter compounds and transforming flavorless proteins into…
An MIT-led study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.
Purdue University is a world-renowned, public research university that advances discoveries in science, technology, engineering and math.
In our study published in Nature, we demonstrate how artificial intelligence research can drive and accelerate new scientific discoveries. We’ve built a dedicated, interdisciplinary team in hopes of using AI to push basic research forward: bringing together experts from the fields of structural biology, physics, and…
Rising temperatures are causing the frozen ground that covers large parts of the Earth to break up, adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
