The Netflix show about a Birmingham crime family and their personal demons concluded earlier this month.
The discovery calls into question the few things scientists know about these powerful astronomical phenomena.
From the present day all the way to less than 400 million years after the Big Bang, we're seeing how the Universe grew up like never before.
Archaeologists turn to other scientific fields to fill in the picture of how victims lived and why they died.
The engineer working on Google's AI, called LaMDA, suffers from what we could call Michelangelo Syndrome. Scientists must beware hubris.
As with any "big idea" progress means a lot of different things to different people and not everyone comes into the discussion with the same priors. Some experts are primarily focused on material progress while others emphasize the importance of moral progress. So to start the discussion, we asked each expert to define the term as they see it from their specific vantage point.
The image you're seeing isn't a hole in the Universe, and the cosmic voids that do exist aren't hole-like at all.
In determining what qualifies as solid science, controversy is inevitable.
When Tal Golesworthy was told he was at risk of his aorta bursting, he wasn’t impressed with the surgery on offer – so he came up with his own idea.
Most people care what others think of them. In many situations, that can be leveraged for the common good.

Organ transplantation is in dire need of biotechnological advances. 3D bioprinting and genetic modification of pigs provide a path forward.
Most of us only ever see a fraction of a full rainbow: an arc. But optically, a full rainbow makes a complete circle. Physics explains why.
We've only seen Uranus up close once: from Voyager 2, back in 1986. The next time we do it, its features will look entirely different.

Guided by ultrasound waves, swarms of microrobots could soon be used to deliver medicine to targeted sites in the body.
When constructed well, post-training survey questions can provide a wealth of information that helps guide future design decisions.
The book "The Genesis Machine" outlines the promise and peril of synthetic biology, a powerful tool that will allow us to program life like a computer.
It’s about 7.6 million times faster than what you probably have at home.
Wireless charging isn't just for phones and laptops. It could also power medical devices like heart implants.
Our Universe requires dark matter in order to make sense of things, astrophysically. Could massive photons do the trick?
