Women in Science

On International Women’s Day, we reflect on 5 years of #WomeninScience.

76 articles later, one thing is clear: representation shapes science — and the world around us. When women are underrepresented, the impacts are felt across society.

Hello @elisabethbik.bsky.social, thank you for flagging this. Our Research Integrity team is reopening the case and reassessing it under our updated corrections process (implemented since 2023). We’ll follow up once the assessment is complete.

How breaking the ‘memory wall’ using brain-inspired algorithms could help overcome AI energy costs AI hardware needs to become more brain-like to meet the growing energy demands of real-world applications, according to researchers.

What if AI learned to use energy more like the human brain? Scientists investigate brain-inspired approaches to reduce computational costs.
