How JPL keeps the 13-year-old Curiosity rover doing science

Thirteen years ago last August, I was camped out in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory press room in Pasadena, Calif., waiting to see whether the Curiosity rover would survive its descent and skycrane-assisted landing on the surface of Mars. It did, and it was awesome. Since then, Curiosity (also known as Mars Science Laboratory) has traveled nearly 37 kilometers, drilled into and sampled 42 different rocks, and as of publication has snapped nearly 763,000 photos.

Great apes: What we know about their cognition, cooperation and curiosity after two decades of research

Great apes: What we know about their cognition, cooperation and curiosity after two decades of research Robert Egan Associate Editor Leipzig Zoo in central Germany is a world-leading center of great ape research. Recent studies have seen chimpanzees there using touchscreen controls to navigate virtual forests and locate food rewards—applying similar techniques to what they would use in the wild. Other research (of which I was part) has investigated chimpanzees' social curiosity.

Exploring Flow-Lenia Universes with a Curiosity-driven AI Scientist: Discovering Diverse Ecosystem Dynamics

arXiv:2505.15998v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a curiosity-driven AI scientist method for discovering system-level dynamics in Flow-Lenia, a continuous cellular automaton (CA) with mass conservation and parameter localization. Building on prior work that uses diversity search in Lenia to find individual self-organized patterns, we adapt Intrinsically Motivated Goal Exploration Processes (IMGEPs) to large environments of interacting patterns, using simulation-wide metrics such...

Children's motivation and attitudes towards learning play a key role in academic success, study finds

Children's motivation and attitudes towards learning play a key role in academic success, study finds Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A major new study led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London has revealed that noncognitive skills—such as motivation, curiosity, academic interest and self-belief—play a key role in translating children's genetic dispositions into academic achievement. Published in Nature Communications, the research provides new insight into...

Industry spurs novel research but may hurt ‘blue skies’ science: IIM study

Industry’s growing role in scientific publishing is helping researchers generate novel ideas across a range of disciplines, but it may also be steering science away from “blue skies research”, curiosity-driven investigations pursued without immediate commercial objectives, which have historically produced some of science’s most unexpected discoveries.

Safety Must Precede the Deployment of Open-Ended AI

arXiv:2502.04512v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI advancements have been significantly driven by a combination of foundation models and curiosity-driven learning aimed at increasing capability and adaptability. Within this landscape, open-endedness, where AI agents autonomously and indefinitely generate novel behaviors, representations, or solutions, has gained increasing interest. This has become relevant in the context of self-evolving agents and long-horizon discovery.
