The United States and China have decided to play nice in the science and tech sandbox for another five years. They've refreshed a 40-year-old agreement, but this time with some new rules. The pact, which was almost left in the past, now has more focus on basic research and keeps a closer eye on safe
In a surprising move, the United States and China have come together to sign a new science pact. However, this agreement isn't as open as one might think. Both countries have imposed strict limitations on what can be shared and achieved through this collaboration. This isn't your typical handshake d
NATO's Allied Command Transformation (ACT) has come up with an intriguing idea called "cognitive warfare. " This concept is about influencing and shaping perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors in the context of war. It's a hot topic among scholars, but it's tough to pin down a single, clear definition

University of Idaho students studying elementary education recently demonstrated their creativity and scientific prowess at a science fair held at North Idaho College. The fair, organized by clinical professor Corey McKenna, offered these future teachers a chance to explore science in a hands-on way
One of the first steps in figuring out the structure and properties of a material based on its chemical composition is creating likely crystal structures. However, current methods for predicting crystal structures are usually time-consuming and expensive, which can slow down scientific progress. To
Over the last half-century, the field of neuromechanics has made giant leaps forward. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the International Society of Biomechanics, and it's a great time to look back at how far we've come. Neuromechanics is all about understanding how our brains control our move
For decades, Americans mostly agreed on one thing: science was trustworthy. But lately, that's quickly changing. People who lean left and right are now seeing science quite differently.
