In all directions, at great distances, the Universe looks younger, more uniform, and less evolved. Does that mean Earth must be the center?
It took 9.2 billion years of cosmic evolution before our Sun and Solar System even began to form. Such a small event has led to so much.
A scientist’s first-hand account shows the world can tackle a global environmental crisis.
Stars are born, live, and die within the spiral arms of galaxies like the Milky Way. These 19 JWST spirals deliver unprecedented riches.
Most fundamental constants could be a little larger or smaller, and our Universe would still be similar. But not the mass of the electron.
The highest-energy particles of all come from space, not human-made colliders. When it comes to the most energetic particle collisions of all, you might think that the Large Hadron Collider […]
If nature were perfectly deterministic, atoms would almost instantly all collapse. Here’s how Heisenberg uncertainty saves the atom.
With its very first deep-field view of the Universe now released, the James Webb Space Telescope has shown us our cosmos as never before.
Whether you write it 6/28 or 28/6, it’s perfection either way. Perfection might be a wonderful thing to strive for in life, but achieving it is very rare. In the realm […]
A marine reptile fossil from Svalbard challenges ideas about evolution and Earth’s greatest mass extinction.
In the quest to measure how antimatter falls, the possibility that it fell “up” provided hope for warp drive. Here’s how it all fell apart.
The Universe isn’t just expansion, but the expansion itself is accelerating. So why can’t we feel it in any measurable way?
From COVID and cancer vaccines to a steady drop in the number of people living in extreme poverty, there are reasons for optimism in 2023.
The laws of physics don’t prefer matter over antimatter. So how can we be certain that distant stars & galaxies aren’t made of antimatter?
Humans who’ve lived through the same events often remember them differently. Could quantum physics be responsible?
The rarest stars in the Universe are the ones we need the most to make humanity possible. Like everything in the Universe, stars are born, they live a little while, […]
There are two fundamentally different ways of measuring the Universe’s expansion. They disagree. “Early dark energy” might save us.
Syllipsimopodi bideni is small (about 12cm in length), has ten arms, suckers, fins, and a triangular pen of hard tissue inside its body for support.
A new control system, demonstrated using MIT’s robotic mini cheetah, enables four-legged robots to jump across uneven terrain in real-time.
Despite all that we’ve learned about the Universe, there remain unanswered, and possibly unanswerable, questions. Could “God” be the answer?
Galaxies can have regions both hotter and colder than the background radiation of the Universe. When we talk about the depths of space, we get this picture in our heads […]
As Russia’s youth welcomed a new era of capitalism in the 1990s, their parents and grandparents clung to fleeting memories of Soviet life.
The Virtual Metaverse will be for gaming and other short duration uses, while the Augmented Metaverse will revolutionize society.
It’s time to put on your listening hat.
The hyperloop would be a great idea for a completely flat planet. With topography and infrastructure, it’s a very different story.
A growing body of research shows that religious people seem to enjoy more psychological well-being compared to others.
The Netflix show about a Birmingham crime family and their personal demons concluded earlier this month.
Human beings are descendants of these early tetrapods – at least those who made a new life on land.
