Researchers say they’ll someday be able to recreate experiences, perceptions, and sensations with a device the size of a backpack.
In General Relativity, even space and time themselves aren’t what they seem. Gravity might have been the first fundamental force ever discovered, but in many ways, it remains the least-well understood. […]
If this newfound galaxy is just the tip of the iceberg, the entire Universe may fall into place. One of the greatest challenges for a scientist is that every time you […]
Scientists have identified a new shape called the scutoid, and it helps explain the how cells in the body arrange themselves in tightly packed three-dimensional structures to form tissues.
What’s the difference between VR and AR? Find out what they are and what these emerging technologies are being used for around the world.
It takes an average of 7.5 months to build a single-family home. A Ukrainian startup has cut that timeframe down to just 8 hours.
Since the advent of communication, humans have used stories to create meaningful lives.
A moving mural by street artist Eduardo Kobra is one of the first fruits of a revolution about to take the art world by storm.
Gravity and time are so different from what you’d expect. Here’s how it all would end. If you could only know the answer to one question about the Universe, what would […]
One of the night sky’s most famous sights isn’t what it appears to be. Perhaps the most famous sight of a dying star is the Ring Nebula, known since 1779. The […]
When you emit gravitational waves, they have to pass through the Universe. But do they gravitate, too? When you travel through the Universe, it isn’t just a free ride through […]
LIGO, here on Earth, has exquisitely-precise distances its lasers travel. With three spacecrafts in motion, how could LISA work? Since it began operating in 2015, advanced LIGO has ushered in an […]
A blank canvas for generations of science.
In a landmark study for the tissue engineering community, scientists have successfully grown and reconstructed new ears for children born with a birth defect.
Only 5-15% of the World Ocean’s floor has been mapped. This herculean effort is set to tackle our planet’s last frontier.
Einstein’s explanation is the only one that works. When Newton first proposed the law of universal gravitation, it marked the very first time that we realized the same rule governing how […]
It’s either a cosmic mystery or a terribly mundane mistake. The Universe is expanding, and every scientist in the field agrees with that. The observations overwhelmingly support that straightforward conclusion, and […]
Though written for his students, the lessons can be applied by any essay writer.
Rather than one layer at a time, this method creates an entire object all at once, using lasers.
The mathematician and codebreaker invented a water filter that only just got build recently. Could it make the ocean’s drinkable?
The legendary DARPA tests technology that lets soldiers control drones with their minds.
We can go to deeper and deeper levels, finding more fundamental quantities as we do. But is there a truly fundamental quantity? What is the Universe, at a fundamental level, […]
Scientists, artists, writers, and entrepreneurs will tackle the most exciting and controversial topics shaping our future at Brain Bar, Hungary’s most inspiring event.
Artists and fans are the big losers as bot-powered scalpers make a killing.
Evolution doesn’t clean up after itself very well.
Think the future isn’t already here with us? Think again!
Any hypothesis, no matter how alluring, must be confronted with the full suite of data. Our Solar System may be the closest part of the Universe to us as we look […]
Today’s children and youth are very tech savvy and easily use tablets, laptops, and smartphones to access the Internet, play games and consume media. AR can put that on fast-forward.
For many years the concept of virtual worlds and far flung digital realities was the stuff of speculative fiction and philosophy. But it may soon take over the world.
