Dogs really can smell your fear, and then they get scared too - Dogs exposed to sweat from human volunteers who watched videos designed to cause fear showed more signs of stress than those exposed to happy or neutral smells. They also had higher heart rates, and sought reassurance from owners.

In a project called AutoML, Google’s researchers have taught machine-learning software to build machine-learning software. In some instances, what it comes up with is more powerful and efficient than the best systems the researchers themselves can design.

Scientists claim to have debunked a long-held evolutionary theory -- the assumption that in a simple, static environment, organisms will eventually reach a 'fitness peak,' a plateau of adaptation, and stop evolving. New research suggests there is no such thing as a fitness peak.

Magic mushrooms 'reboot' brain in depressed people – Imperial College London researchers used psilocybin to treat a small number of patients with depression. Images of patients’ brains revealed changes in brain activity that were associated with marked and lasting reductions in depressive symptoms.
