There are many things on large scales that also appear on small scales. But is the Universe truly a fractal? If you take a look at the structures that form in […]
Developing an awareness of and an appreciation for science is what we all truly need, not what we’ve been doing.
Quantum physics isn’t quite magic, but it requires an entirely novel set of rules to make sense of the quantum universe.
Sometimes the value of soft skills feels almost secretive—like some scrap of knowledge handed down through an ancient society of corporate recruiters. Of course, that’s not the case or that’s […]
Catch Saturn at its biggest and brightest, and view its rings while you still can. Right now, in Earth’s skies, Saturn appears at its biggest and brightest. A view of tonight’s […]

Just because you have “star” in your name doesn’t mean you are one. When we think about the objects in our Universe, they fall into two categories: self-luminous objects, like stars, […]
Ancient corridors below the French capital have served as its ossuary, playground, brewery, and perhaps soon, air conditioning.
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?
Is the time crystal really an otherworldly revolution, leveraging quantum computing that will change physics forever?
After more than two decades of precision measurements, we’ve now reached the “gold standard” for how the pieces don’t fit.
The inevitable long, slow decline is accelerating, and there’s nothing we can do. The Universe, as it is today, is less active, is forming fewer stars, and is creating fewer chances […]
The smart skin can “sweat” like human skin and also self-heal.
Crows have their own version of the human cerebral cortex.
It’s not just an old superstition — it’s your stressed-out brain.

Octopuses are known to rapidly change colors during sleep, but it’s still unclear whether they dream like humans do.
Colleges and universities can continue to ignore what the market wants, or they can get in the game and differentiate with new on-ground and online pathways to employment-centric education.
Phobos and Deimos only have two explanations, and neither one adds up.
For the past 150+ years, the big ones have all missed us. But at some point, our good luck will run out.
A new study suggests that a device’s night mode may damage sleep hygiene even more.
The view from beyond Pluto is far enough from Earth that we can see the stars shift. NASA’s New Horizons, humanity’s first spacecraft to encounter Pluto, is more than 4.3 billion […]
Playing and being creative shouldn’t stop when you grow up.
Minnesota earned its ‘blue mark’ in the 1975 Morris earthquake, which had its epicenter in the western part of the state.
It comes from a supernova seen just 33 years ago, and it doesn’t pulse. 33 years ago, a supernova occurred just 168,000 light-years from Earth. This new image of the supernova […]
