From robots to humans, good decisions require diverse perspectives.

Robotics /

When groups make decisions—whether humans, robots, or animals—not all members contribute equally. Some have more reliable information, while others hold greater social influence. A new study from the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence highlights how uncertainty and diversity shape collective decision-making. Published in Scientific Reports, the research by Vito Mengers, Mohsen Raoufi, Oliver Brock, […]

Tiny electrical discharges between water droplets may have ignited the spark of life on Earth.

Biology /

Dr. Frankenstein may not have needed a lightning bolt to spark life after all. A new Stanford study suggests that constant “microlightning” between water droplets could have provided the jolt that jumpstarted life on Earth. One of the biggest mysteries in evolution is how life emerged from non-living matter. Scientists believe early Earth contained a

Coreshell Aims to Significantly Reduce the Cost of U.S. Made Batteries

Climatology, Earth Science /

The shift to electric vehicles is largely a story centered on China. Government subsidies there have not only fueled automakers but also strengthened the entire battery supply chain. Decades of industrial policies controlling critical mineral resources have given China a dominant position, leaving American and European automakers struggling to compete. Graphite is a prime example.

Palmetto Enables Developers to Advance U.S. Electrification with AI-Driven Building Models

Climatology, Earth Science /

For homeowners considering solar panels, the key question is often “How many?” For heat pumps, it’s “What size?” Traditionally, answering these required an on-site visit from a contractor. Over the past decade, solar installers have streamlined this process, with some, like Tesla, eliminating it entirely through software that integrates various data sources to determine a

It’s Pi Day! Here’s Why This Unique Number Deserves Worldwide Recognition.

Mathematics /

Each year on March 14, math enthusiasts celebrate Pi Day, honoring one of the most famous irrational numbers. Represented by the Greek letter π and approximated as 3.14, pi highlights both the practicality and beauty of mathematics. Pi defines the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, an unending, non-repeating decimal. Unlike other constants
