Ever since the Big Bang, cataclysmic events have released enormous amounts of energy. Here's the greatest one ever witnessed.
Economics and religion help to explain the gap.
The Big Bang theory is not threatened, but astrophysicists have some explaining to do.
With a record-setting $1.9 billion jackpot, you'd think it's a no-brainer to buy a Powerball ticket. But the math truly shows otherwise.
2023 will see the launch of new rockets, the return of OSIRIS-REx, and a mission to Jupiter that could help us find extraterrestrial life.
In 1667, a core-collapse supernova happened right here in the Milky Way, invisible to all humans. ~350 years later, here's what JWST sees.
A non-invasive method for looking inside structures is solving mysteries about the ancient pyramid.
Almost every large structure in the Universe displays a 5:1 dark matter-to-normal matter ratio. Here's how some galaxies defy that rule.
Using shaped ultrasound, researchers can 3D print objects in one shot.
With a bigger, better, and more sensitive detector, the XENON collaboration joins LZ and PANDA-X in constraining WIMP dark matter.
In 1987, the closest supernova directly observed in nearly 400 years occurred. Will a pulsar arise from those ashes? JWST offers clues.
If you can identify a foreground star, the spike patterns are a dead giveaway as to whether it's a JWST image or any other observatory.
BMW found it’s possible to remote-drive vehicles using available technology. All it takes is some software updates and a cellular network connection.
Most counties in the U.S. have only one local newspaper, often one that publishes weekly instead of daily.
The quantum world — and its inherent uncertainty — defies our ability to describe it in words.
Some 55 million light-years away lies the giant galaxy Messier 87. Its supermassive black hole, inside and out, looks better than ever.
Chemists could replace bubbling flasks with tumbling ball mills.
Scientists don't understand why the correlation exists.
The idea of black holes has been around for over 200 years. Today, we're seeing them in previously unimaginable ways.
What are supermassive black holes, how common are they, and how do they grow up throughout cosmic history? Listen and find out!
A conservator from the Rijksmuseum explains how they went about investigating whether the painting is a genuine Rembrandt.
We live in a four-dimensional Universe, where matter and energy curve the fabric of spacetime. But time sure is different from space!
Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works engineering division has devised many jaw-dropping aircraft. Here are some of the best — and one ship.
Nothing can escape from a black hole. So where do Hawking radiation, relativistic jets, and X-ray emissions around black holes come from?
The massive craft could carry 100 humans to Mars and revolutionize space exploration.
Mars, the red planet, was a world we knew almost nothing about until our first spacecraft visited it. In just ~50 years, how far we've come!
Black women are 3x more likely to die giving birth. Here’s one plan to fix that.

The brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed, GRB 221009A behaved in unexpected ways that might help us understand how they occur.
Gamma-ray bursts are among the most energetic cosmic events of all. On October 9, 2022, a remarkable one occurred: the brightest ever seen.
