Watch the latest Videos from Nature Six experts at the forefront of AI development give their opinions on what is next for the field.

Probing and disentangling the dynamics of many interacting quantum elements, such as those in complex molecules, poses a formidable challenge. In such strongly interacting systems, information ...

Do your New Year resolutions include a plan to leave higher education? These researchers explain how to reinvent your career.

Analyses of hundreds of thousands of papers in the natural sciences reveal a paradox: scientists who use AI tools produce more research but on a more confined set of topics.

From tree branches to blood vessels, physical networks are often thought of as one-dimensional wires connecting points. In this view, the need to keep the overall ‘wire length’ to a minimum is thought ...

Our ability to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on the rich diversity of cell types that make up the human brain. Uncovering the molecular and cellular events ...

Artificial-intelligence systems are feeding on Wikipedia without giving back, and academic indifference is threatening the survival of what is arguably the most widely used reference work on the ...

The cover shows an intricate network of lattice defects â dislocation lines â whose motion makes metal tantalum flow under compression. Fully dynamic atomistic simulations of plastic deformation in ...

Rare immune errors can make usually harmless infections deadly in some people. Plus, the genetics of dogs’ floppy ears and a huge study on reasons for vaccine hesitancy.

Delegating tasks to artificial intelligence (AI) systems can save time, improve productivity and aid decision-making — but it comes with ethical risks. In this week’s issue, Nils Köbis, Zoe Rahwan and ...

Root-associated microbial symbionts have a strong influence over the way forest ecosystems function. The identity of the symbionts can help determine how easily trees access nutrients, sequester ...

The gap between average life expectancy and the number of years people are healthy and on the job is widening, with potentially grave consequences for pensioners.
