Founded in 1880 with seed money from Thomas Edison, Science has been at the center of major discovery ever since, publishing some of the most-cited research in the world—including the first complete human genome, early images of the Martian surface, and the first studies linking AIDS to HIV. A trailblazer in online publishing too, the Science family has grown to include Science Translational Medicine, Science Signaling, Science Immunology, Science Robotics, and the open-access journal Science Advances.
Ultracold atoms trapped by lasers and light bouncing between mirrors formed a spin glass, a notoriously disordered magnetic state, that stored several times more memories than a standard artificial neural network of the same size.
Correcting a single accounting error in how regulators value fuel savings could turn the federal rollback of vehicle pollution rules from a $790 billion win into a net loss, ten economists argue in a new Science paper.
Corals in the Galapagos hold a thousand years of ocean chemistry showing El Nino has grown far stronger over the last four decades, a trend that tracks rising global temperature and stumps the climate models built to predict it.
A method that reads family trees inside 503 living genomes has pinpointed DNA from two archaic human populations that were never sequenced, one shared by all people and one that entered Oceanians through Denisovans.
Aged mice cleared their spent immune cells poorly, and worn-out neutrophils piled up in their organs. Switching off a single macrophage receptor, EP2, restored the clean-up and held back decline across the body, from brain to heart.
New modelling in Science puts the peak at roughly ten times today’s diversity between 3,000 and 1,000 years ago — and finds the collapse began with the first multinational empires, not European colonialism. The pre-agricultural world, it turns out, had fewer languages than we do now. The authors call it a coarse global model rather than a census.
Camera traps in Chornobyl show war reshaping wildlife behavior as fighting, fire and occupation altered animal routines.
