Psychological research shows that intolerance of uncertainty limits reasoning ability. Highly intelligent individuals tend to ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

With the tech space still attempting to digest wide-ranging fears associated with the possible bubble in artificial intelligence, innovators in other fields have also struggled. In particular, ...

Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of ...

The brains of humans understand the world by recognizing patterns. Patterns as simple as a line drawing to complex math/arithmetic figures. The brain processes patterns in language, music, quilting, ...

Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of boxfish, imperfections and all. A male ornate boxfish with distinctive, complex patterns of stripes and ...

The best perk of Alberto Maspero’s job, he says, is the view from his window. Situated on a hill above the ancient port city of Trieste, Italy, his office at the International School for Advanced ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...
