Our eyes are flooded with visual information, but the neurons in our eyes have certain constraints. Thus, how do neurons select what to extract and send on to the brain? Until now neuroscientists ...

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch.

New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning.

Researchers have now developed an alternative method to encode information in synthetic molecules, which they used to encode and then decode an 11-character password to unlock a computer.
