Forgetting and misremembering are the building blocks of creativity and imagination.
It could evolve, strengthen, decay, or not be alone. Our known Universe contains matter, radiation, and dark energy. While matter (both normal and dark) and radiation become less dense as […]
Do grim sci-fi scenarios crush our hopes for real-world growth? Author Michael Harris looks elsewhere to unblock the road to a better future.
Despite the Sun's high core temperatures, particles can't quite overcome their mutual electric repulsion. Good thing for quantum physics!
If the electromagnetic and weak forces unify to make the electroweak force, maybe, at even higher energies, something even greater happens?
The tonal Native American language differentiates words based on pitch and makes Spanish conjugation look like child’s play.
In our common experience, you can't get something for nothing. In the quantum realm, something really can emerge from nothing.
Each year in mid-August, Earth plows through the debris stream of an enormous comet, creating the Perseids. 2023's show will be magnificent!
Four key components to guide the creation of emotional intelligence training for leaders.
2023's Nobel Prize was awarded for studying physics on tiny, attosecond-level timescales. Too bad that particle physics happens even faster.
A Cambridge Ph.D. student has solved a grammatical problem that has befuddled Sanskrit scholars since the 5th century BC.
Move over, IC 1101. You may be impressively large, but you never stood a chance against the largest known galaxy: Alcyoneus.
The majority of the matter in our Universe isn't made of any of the particles in the Standard Model. Could the axion save the day?
Boredom isn’t the enemy; it’s a catalyst for changing your relationship to work.
The neutrino is the most ghostly, rarely-interacting particle in all the Standard Model. How well can we truly make "beams" out of them?
Memories aren’t mental recordings, but pliable information we can use to better manage the present and conjure future possibilities.
One single plot of data embodies the most profound thing we know about the stars.
The combination of charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal symmetry is known as CPT. And it must never be broken. Ever.
The Standard Model of elementary particles has three nearly identical copies of particles: generations. And nobody knows why.
These composers channeled the horror of the Holocaust and Hiroshima while honoring those who lived through it.
Dive into seven texts that continue to shape Western philosophy, from ancient Mesopotamia to Greece's brightest minds.
For centuries, men prevented women from writing music. These classical composers broke with social norms and made their mark on history.
If argumentation led to nothing, it would soon be thrown into the evolutionary dustbin.
The Standard Model may or may not be in trouble, but particle physics definitely needs saving. Here's what the new LHC can do.
This world map shows how the rest of the world LOLs. In France, you MDR; in China, you 23333.
The great hope is that beyond the indirect, astrophysical evidence we have today, we'll someday detect it directly. But what if we can't?
Even if we traveled at the speed of light, we'd never catch up to these galaxies.
A study reports that people think those with similar personality traits look alike and vice versa.
