This ‘fix’ for economic theory changes everything from gambles to Ponzi schemes
Whether we decide to take out that insurance policy, buy Bitcoin, or switch jobs, many economic decisions boil down to a fundamental gamble about how to maximize our wealth over time. How we understand these decisions is the subject of…

Cooperating may result in better self-driving experience
In a dynamic computer game in which the computer is also a decision maker, you may often find yourself competing with the game to reach your goal. Similarly in handling a “self-driving” car, automobile equipped with automated driving technology, human…

Prisoner’s dilemma game reveals cooperation leads to leadership
Scientists revisit a well-studied philosophical scenario to explore hierarchy within cooperation.
Swarm of tiny drones explores unknown environments
Researchers have presented a swarm of tiny drones that can explore unknown environments completely by themselves. This work, presented in Science Robotics on 23 October, forms a significant step in the field of swarm robotics. The challenge comes from the…
New science on cracking leads to self-healing materials
Cracks in the desert floor appear random to the untrained eye, even beautifully so, but the mathematics governing patterns of dried clay turn out to be predictable–and useful in designing advanced materials. In a pair of new studies from Princeton…
Statins could increase or decrease osteoporosis risk — the dosage makes the difference
A study by the the Medical University of Vienna and the Complexity Science Hub Vienna shows for the first time a connection between the dosage of cholesterol-lowering drugs and the diagnosis of osteoporosis
Underwater manatee chatter may aid in their conservation
Listening in on manatee conversations could help restore populations of this endangered marine mammal. Each manatee has its own voice: their calls can be traced back to specific individuals, offering a way to estimate how many of them are present…
Mechanisms of real-time speech interpretation in the human brain revealed
Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how we’re able to understand spoken language so rapidly, and it involves a huge and complex set of computations in the brain. In a study published today in the journal PNAS ,…
