In 2024, researchers completed the first-ever map of the circuitry of a fruit fly’s brain. Despite its diminutive size, the organ packs almost 500 feet of wiring and 54.5 million synapses into the ...

What would it mean to simulate a human brain? Today’s most powerful computing systems now contain enough computational firepower to run simulations of billions of neurons, comparable to the ...

2025 was supposed to be the year of the AI agent. Companies invested heavily in autonomous systems that could handle tasks without human intervention, only for agents to end up simulating the people ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

The Lattice human disease simulator is a new way to study organ tissue over time. Up to eight different tissue samples can be connected by monitored fluid medium. It’s expected to advance our ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking tool called Effort.jl that lets them simulate the structure of the universe using just a laptop. The team created a system that dramatically speeds up how ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

LLMs that emulate human speech are being used to cost-effectively test assumptions and run pilot studies, producing promising early results. But researchers note that human data remains essential. By ...

Do you find your keyboard a little too quiet? Would you like to hear audio feedback with every keystroke? Then the Keyboard Sounds app might just be what you’re looking for. It lets you enjoy the ...

Could AI be listening in on you? It seems so. Researchers from renowned universities in the UK have created a groundbreaking AI system capable of eavesdropping on keyboards to harvest potentially ...

The authors declare no competing interests. The research was supported by the Sydney Horizon Fellowship program, the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio program, the Australian Research Council, the US ...
