Like ultra-hardy plants that thrive in harsh conditions, businesses that see crises as opportunities are likely to win in the long run.
For the first time in nearly 1500 years, fewer than half the people in England and Wales consider themselves Christian.
Unraveling the subtle mechanics of luck can help us better steer the wheel of fortune.
First derived by Emmy Noether, for every symmetry a theory possesses, there’s an associated conserved quantity. Here’s the profound link.
The combination of charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal symmetry is known as CPT. And it must never be broken. Ever.
Could a theory from the science of perception help crack the mysteries of psychosis?
In “Life As No One Knows It,” Sara Imari Walker explains why the key distinction between life and other kinds of “things” is how life uses information.
Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.
The truth may be out there — but it’s not in these close encounters of the third kind.
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?
Memories aren’t mental recordings, but pliable information we can use to better manage the present and conjure future possibilities.
Japanese thought can’t be easily characterized by just a few books — but this essential guide is a great place to start.
All scientific theories are limited in scope, power, and application, being mere approximations of reality. That’s why consensus is vital.
Almost everything we can observe and measure follows what’s known as a normal distribution, or a Bell curve. There’s a profound reason why.
From forming bound states to normal scattering, many possibilities abound for matter-antimatter interactions. So why do they annihilate?
In the early stages of the hot Big Bang, there were only free protons and neutrons: no atomic nuclei. How did the first elements form from them?
Salk scientists studied complex decision-making capabilities in a worm with just 302 neurons and a mouth full of teeth. It’s smarter than you would think.
Psychologist Mary C. Murphy explains why growth-mindset teams outperform those centered around a lone genius.
All matter particles can act as waves, and massless light waves show particle-like behavior. Can gravitational waves also be particle-like?
In “Raising AI,” De Kai argues that today’s AIs are already more like us than we think they are.
Cody Delistraty explores if laughter can help alleviate the physical symptoms of grief.
The conservation of energy is one of the most fundamental laws governing our reality. But in the expanding Universe, that’s just not true.
Newborn stars are surrounded only by a featureless disk. Debris disks persist for hundreds of millions of years. So when do planets form?
Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.
According to Harvard career advisor Gorick Ng, this time-saving system can help us reclaim our work-life sanity.
A recently identified stage of sleep common to narcoleptics is a fertile source of creativity.
“Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
From up close, the cracking sound of a thunderclap dominates. From far away, it’s more like a drawn-out rumble. Can science explain why?
