The result validate Einstein on a whole new scale, and pose serious problems for alternative, modified theories of gravity. In 1915, Albert Einstein put forth a new theory of gravity: General […]
Ready Player One’s spectacular VR OASIS experience has us wondering how achievable it really is and when we’ll start seeing immersive VR movies.
A questionable new study suggests green tea may be able to reduce the effect of Down syndrome on facial features.
On September 1, launched a $2.5 million project called “Open Exploration of Vertebrate Diversity in 3D” or as many scientists know it – the “scan-all-vertebrates” project. Sponsored by the National Science […]
An eighth-grader from the Dallas area in the winner of the 2018 Scripps National Spelling Bee after correctly spelling words like condottiere, ankyloglossia, and jagüey.
Cosmologists behind braneworld theories see our universe as being a part of a complex inter-dimensional world.
After a 16 year wait, the star SO-2 will speed past our galaxy’s supermassive black hole at 2.5% the speed of light. It will be the first-of-its-kind test of Einstein’s […]
While millions catch a glimpse of a rare lunar event, NASA plans to shut down an orbiter whose purpose is to study the moon.
A new study of the stone monuments on Easter Island reveals the mysteries of the ancient people who made them.
The weather in most parts of Russia forces drivers to face harsh conditions — snow, mud, and poor visibility. It’s in this environment that Cognitive Technologies saw an opportunity.
A new study contests the benefits of meditation in the workplace. We show everything that’s wrong with the research.
It’s fascinating how an octopus’s skin does this and how these scientists recreated it.
A new study looks at how to make a successful smile.
AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint have all recently unveiled plans for a nationwide 5G network in the US.
Humanity has mapped the Milky Way better than ever with ESA’s Gaia. But 1.7 billion stars later, there are still no Dyson spheres. Perhaps the greatest ‘holy grail’ in all of […]

Was Oscar Wilde—witty author, gay rights icon, and lover of champagne and material beauty—a radical socialist?
Researchers said this feat concludes “one of the major challenges in modern cosmology.”
Innovation is often thought of as the result of rare genius. To create a new solution to an old problem that is both more efficient and practical than older methods […]
Unless you can make a force that travels faster than the speed of light, a singularity is inevitable. The more mass you place into a small volume of space, the […]
Scientists model the first virtual neurons to better understand the living brain.
There is however, at least one caveat.
This could lead to a small 3D printer used by soldiers to quickly make anything needed in the field.
You see a gorgeous salamander. Science sees the key to regrowing limbs, eyes, and even bones.
Children’s drawings of houses rendered as they’d look in real life.
Our brains are famously flexible, or “plastic,” because neurons can do new things by forging new or stronger connections with other neurons. But how, exactly, does it do that?
It’s more accurate than an atomic clock, and would take thousands of years to lose a second.
It’s an incredibly exciting time to be alive, especially if you’re an explorer. We may have been to almost every point on the globe, but there is so much left to understand.
