Easily distracted? Try a “distractibility delay.”
With LEDs bringing brighter nighttime lighting than ever before, and thousands of new satellites polluting the skies, astronomy needs help.
From Aristotle’s lazy cosmology to Immanuel Kant’s “scientific” racism, great minds are not immune to very bad ideas.
Two aspects of memory – fast updating and long lasting – are typically considered incompatible, yet the insects combined them.
The conservation of energy is one of the most fundamental laws governing our reality. But in the expanding Universe, that’s just not true.
Through self-tracking and self-experimentation, we can greatly improve our cognitive capacity.
Besides offering an incredibly cool way to get stuff into space, SpinLaunch promises to reduce the cost of a launch by 20-fold.
What most people don’t realize is that everyone’s imagery is different.
When you imitate the speech of others, there’s a thin line between whether it’s a social asset or faux pas.
With a massive, charged nucleus orbited by tiny electrons, atoms are such simple objects. Miraculously, they make up everything we know.
In the largest star-forming region close to Earth, JWST found hundreds of planetary-mass objects. How do these free-floating planets form?
For thousands of years, humanity had no idea how far away the stars were. In the 1600s, Newton, Huygens, and Hooke all claimed to get there.
Dreams are weird. According to a new theory, that’s what makes them useful.
Technology will not save the world, and it is inherently neither good nor bad. But, when tech is coupled to human virtue, good will prevail.
Leading a scientific revolution is easy: you just have to succeed where the current theory fails while equaling its successes. Good luck!
It’s not a huge leap to imagine we could target the biological processes that mediate our behaviours.
Evidence shows that information is transmitted via “complex contagion.”
Talking to yourself seems to yield real benefits, from boosts in cognitive performance to improved emotional regulation.
A new AI-generated map of dark matter shows previously undiscovered filamentary structures connecting galaxies.
Dark matter hasn’t been directly detected, but some form of invisible matter is clearly gravitating. Could the graviton hold the answer?
What you can learn about media by parodying it from the print era into the digital age.
In 1920, astronomers debated the nature of the Universe. The results were meaningless until years later, when the key evidence arrived.
The sharpest optical images, for now, come from the Hubble Space Telescope. A ground-based technique can make images over 100 times sharper.
Can we ever make energy efficient AI?
A thought experiment from 1867 leads scientists to design a groundbreaking information engine.
Research shows that those who spend more time speaking tend to emerge as the leaders of groups, regardless of their intelligence.
We should all pause to appreciate the awe-inspiring beauty of the Universe.
The highest-energy particles could be a sign of new, unexpected physics. But the simplest, most mundane explanation is particularly iron-ic.
If you ask your maps app to find “restaurants that aren’t McDonald’s,” you won’t like the result.
