Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.

The Source Family, a radical 1970s utopian commune, still impacts what we eat today.
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?
Successful forgers are remembered as great conmen, not artists. This is strange, considering their forgeries fooled even the most seasoned critics.
If you think of the Big Bang as an explosion, we can trace it back to a single point-of-origin. But what if it happened everywhere at once?
The artifacts were often made from found objects – an Ivory dish-soap bottle transformed into an earthenware figure.
This is a perversion of justice.
The East India Company issued stocks to minimize the risk on their unpredictable but highly lucrative voyages. The rest is history.
Venus Life Finder could launch as early as 2023.
Solving difficult visual puzzles seems to help the brain “rewire” itself by forming new neural pathways.
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?
Engineers borrowed the maple tree’s “helicopter” to design tiny, flying microchips, which perform various tasks while in whirling free fall.
From forming bound states to normal scattering, many possibilities abound for matter-antimatter interactions. So why do they annihilate?
Previously, only the brightest and most active galaxies could pierce the obscuring wall of cosmic dust. At last, normal galaxies break through.
Drop sodium in water, and a violent, even explosive reaction will occur. But quantum physics is needed to explain why.
The laws of physics state that you can’t create or destroy matter without also creating or destroying an equal amount of antimatter. So how are we here?
Symmetries aren’t just about folding or rotating a piece of paper, but have a profound array of applications when it comes to physics.
Both views are equally spectacular, but unequally informative. Every so often, a creative amateur project highlights our professional achievements. This mosaic shows the region between the constellations of Cygnus and […]
Late-night shows, developed during the “golden age” of TV, are no longer as relevant in the age of streaming services and Donald Trump.
There are ~400 billion stars in the Milky Way, and ~2 trillion galaxies in the visible Universe. But what if we aren’t typical?
Easily distracted? Try a “distractibility delay.”
Hybrid working, robot fast food workers, and the rapid acceleration of NFTs are just the beginning.
The conservation of energy is one of the most fundamental laws governing our reality. But in the expanding Universe, that’s just not true.
They are expected to be cheaper to build and even more reliable than today’s nuclear plants.
Known as orphaned planets, rogue planets, or planets without parent stars, these “outliers” might be the most common planet of all.
Movie soundtracks don’t just help us recall the plot of a film; they also allow us to better understand its meaning.
If light can’t be bent by electric or magnetic fields (and it can’t), then how do the Zeeman and Stark effects split atomic energy levels?
Dennis Klatt developed trailblazing text-to-speech systems before losing his own voice to cancer.
One hypothesis says that sleep helps “clean” the brain of damaged molecules and toxic proteins.
The Earth that exists today wasn’t formed simultaneously with the Sun and the other planets. In some ways, we’re quite a latecomer.
