However , expert in corporate psychopathy , Clive Boddy of Anglia Ruskin University ARU argues that studies may be failing to identify female psychopaths because they are largely based around profiles of criminal and male . psychopaths During his talk at ARUâ s Cambridge campus on Saturday , 16 March , Boddy will argue that the

Thereâ s a lot of research about moving away from carbon as an energy source , but what if instead the carbon that is being used is applied to its full capacity The importance of carbon as an energy source is not to be downplayed . Unfortunately , the reliance on these carbon-based materials has proven to be disastrous for the environment , especially in the quantities they are consumed on a global

Mathematics is at the heart of modern science but we shouldn’t forget other ways to reason, says author and researcher Roland Ennos
We can already cool objects with fridges and with lasers. Now there is a third cooling technique involving special quantum states – and it could, in theory, allow us to reach the lowest temperatures yet
An artificial intelligence can interpret a mouse's brain activity to tell scientists where the animal is located and the direction it is looking
In a quantum engine, a single atom can emit radiation that bounces around a reflective cavity and creates enough pressure to push down a piston
Kun Luo is combining his experience in materials experimentation and theoretical simulations to explain the atomic mechanisms that create special properties in high-performance materials.
Whether the male and female brains diverge is a matter of great debate, but untangling the answer could be key to treating common mental health conditions. It could also reveal why certain health conditions seem to affect more men than women, such as autism and ADHD
There are 86 billion neurons in your brain, roughly the same number as there are galaxies in the observable universe. Whether the mind is more complex than the cosmos, however, is up for debate
Thinking about consciousness from the perspective of a physicist may be key to figuring out whether it is a single phenomenon or a collection of discrete states
Recent research suggests teenagers’ brains are particularly suited to coping with volatility and new experiences, including socialising and venturing to unknown places
The time of day, the amount of sleep we get and our stage in life can each affect how our brains function. But the good news is there are ways to make sure your brain is working at its best
Listening to electronic music makes neurons in our brain fire in time with the beat, which appears to alter our reaction time and sense of unity
