A machine learning model used neural decoding to show how we think about abstract concepts like electrical current and diffraction. The results could change how we teach physics. Share on Facebook ...

Tariffs are an abstract economic concept to most people, but to the workers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection inside a mostly unnoticed building in Newark, N.J., tariffs are precise, specific ...

In a series of studies over more than 20 years, evolutionary biologists have demonstrated that paper wasps, despite their tiny brains, have an impressive capacity to learn, remember and make social ...
