These WIRED pup-tested tiny mattresses will keep your pooch supported through every snooze.

Recent explorations of unique geometric worlds reveal perplexing patterns, including the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio.

Keep your most important data close at hand, whether you’re on or offline.

Researchers have identified new ways for retailers to use Artificial Intelligence in concert with in-store cameras to better service consumer behavior and tailor store layouts to maximize sales.

A protein scientist, who competed against a computer program, says machine learning will advance biotechnology.

Many computer systems people interact with on a daily basis require knowledge about certain aspects of the world, or models, to work. These systems have to be trained, often needing to learn to recognize objects from video or image data. This data often contains superfluous content that reduces the accuracy of models. So researchers found …

Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy, a lab has captured functional brain activity as humans collaborated with robots on a manufacturing task.

Given a 3D piece of origami, can you flatten it without damaging it? Just by looking at the design, the answer is hard to predict, because each and every fold in the design has to be compatible with flattening.

With mathematical modeling, a research team has now succeeded in better understanding how the optimal working state of the human brain, called criticality, is achieved. Their results mean an important step toward biologically-inspired information processing and new, highly efficient computer technologies and have been published in Scientific Reports.

Argonne researchers have created an automatic technique that can fill in gaps in X-ray data.
