Groundbreaking Study Uncovers How Our Brain Learns

How do we learn new things? Neurobiologists using cutting-edge visualization techniques have revealed how changes across our synapses and neurons unfold. The findings depict how information is processed in our brain’s circuitry, offering insights for neurological disorders and brain-like AI systems.

Food Waste is a Major Contributor to Climate Change. What Are the Solutions?

Emissions don’t just come from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. Food waste sent to landfills contributes up to 10% of all emissions, equivalent to more emissions than that of the entire aviation sector, and if considered a country, it would be the third-largest emitter.

New AI Technology Aims to Revolutionize Fish Farming

To better understand how artificial intelligence can advance U.S. aquaculture development — the cultivation of aquatic animals and plants for food, fuel and more — a team of scientists will use a mobile camera mounted system to capture images of white sturgeon to determine their anatomical traits.

Tiny Molecules, Big Science: How RNA Research Could Transform Medicine, If We Let It

UC San Diego School of Medicine professor Gene Yeo studies RNAs, which are some of the smallest molecules in biology, but have a huge impact on human health. According to Yeo, the RNA revolution is upon us, but it needs our help to continue.

Making Everyday AI Safe and Trustworthy

DNNs transform industries, but remain complex, posing risks. Prof. Lily Weng aims to develop a framework for understanding AI decisions.
