With no training, bumblebees can work out how to use a ball like a ladder to feed on sugar from an out-of-reach flower.

Scientists observe bumblebees rolling a ball underneath a flower to get sugar, showing complex problem-solving abilities.

A new study describes how machine learning tools, run on classical computers, can be used to make predictions about quantum systems and thus help researchers solve some of the trickiest physics and ...

Group work and giving students time to discuss their work helps to build their confidence in using math in science lessons, a new study shows. Researchers have found that discussion is important ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

A solution to P vs NP could unlock countless computational problems—or keep them forever out of reach. 1. On Monday, July 19, 2021, in the middle of another strange pandemic summer, a leading computer ...

“Lack of wings and lack of evident means of propulsion clearly rule out conventional aircraft and helicopters. Many are soundless, many move at such speeds and with such accelerations that they defy ...
