In metal alloys, behavior at the atomic scale affects the material's properties. However, the number of possible alloys is astronomical. Scientists developed a theoretical model that allows him to rapidly determine the strength of millions of different alloys at high temperatures.

Economists authored a new study showing that aging populations lead to greater implementation of robots in workplace settings.

A deep learning approach to classifying buildings with wildfire damage may help responders focus their recovery efforts and offer more immediate information to displaced residents.

Archaeologists have long had a dating problem. The radiocarbon analysis typically used to reconstruct past human demographic changes relies on a method easily skewed by radiocarbon calibration curves and measurement uncertainty. And there's never been a statistical fix that works -- until now.

Engineers develop a way to streamline complex material discovery.

A machine-learning model to spot enzymes could lead to more effective, eco-friendly and cheaper drug therapies and other industrial products.
