The Hertz Foundation is proud to recognize the 16 most recent graduates of the Hertz Fellowship in applied science, mathematics and engineering.

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Researchers have developed a powerful new software toolbox that allows realistic brain models to be trained directly on data. This open-source framework, called JAXLEY, combines the precision of ...

A treatment that could protect premature babies from brain damage showed promise in a recent study in Sweden. Using a first-of-its-kind prenatal brain model created with human cells, researchers ...

When researchers at Anthropic injected the concept of "betrayal" into their Claude AI model's neural networks and asked if it noticed anything unusual, the system paused before responding: "I'm ...

European roboticists today released a powerful open-source artificial intelligence model that acts as a brain for industrial robots—helping them grasp and manipulate things with new dexterity. The new ...

If you think scrolling the internet all day is making you dumber, just imagine what it’s doing to large language models that consume a near-endless stream of absolute trash crawled from the web in the ...

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning ...

What if the future of AI wasn’t just faster, but smarter, more efficient, and inspired by the very organ that powers human thought? Enter China’s new Spiking Brain model, a innovative leap in ...

A TTUHSC research team published new evidence suggesting that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains largely intact in a commonly used mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Ehsan Nozohouri (seated), a ...

Learn the simple science behind projecting 3D spheres onto 2D surfaces and how geometry makes this transformation possible. 'A test case': Outrage as Army vet who had top secret clearance is arrested ...
