The face-recognition app Mobile Fortify, now used by United States immigration agents in towns and cities across the US, is not designed to reliably identify people in the streets and was deployed without the scrutiny that has historically…

A new water filter removes nanoplastics, bacteria, and other contaminants far smaller than conventional filters can catch, yet it operates on solar power alone and never clogs. Instead of trapping particles in tiny pores, the system uses…

Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than describe exactly where each particle is,…

If a plagiarized paper by an author who claims he didn’t write it disappears from a journal’s website with no notice, did it ever exist in the first place? It’s not just a philosophical question for the researcher whose published…

Machina Labs Inc. this week said it has closed a $124 million Series C round and deployed its…

NEW YORK — Most kids know how to play pretend by age 2. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties.
The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human — a bedrock of creativity that’s led…
