When supermassive black holes merge, they emit more energy than anything else to occur in our Universe except the Big Bang.
In a major advance, scientists have found a new and groundbreaking way to force electrons to flow only in one direction in a superconductor.
The miniaturization of particle accelerators could disrupt medical science.
Lord Kelvin is thought to have said there was nothing new to discover in physics. His real view was the opposite.
Tusks suddenly became a liability, even though in natural circumstances, tusks are very useful.
In 1054, a core-collapse supernova occurred 6500 light-years away. In 2023, JWST imaged the remnant, and might solve a massive mystery.
But it’s still challenging to build a 22,000-mile elevator.
The James Webb Space Telescope is about to begin science operations. Here’s what astronomers are excited about.
While Y chromosome loss was first observed in 1963, it was not until 2014 that researchers found the link to a shorter life span.
It’s not about fairness. It’s about using every possible advantage.
If you think you know what sex, gender, and “the right thing to do” for trans youth and adults are, be sure it agrees with actual science.
Since 2012, the amount of time that teenagers spend socializing in person has plummeted. Is it a coincidence that depression is more common?
A new AI lie detector can dive into their hidden thoughts and reveal “what language models truly believe about the world.”
About 8% of our genome is made of leftover viruses from our ancestors’ infections.
Einstein’s most famous equation is E = mc², which describes the rest mass energy inherent to particles. But motion matters for energy, too.
Yes, “the laws of physics break down” at singularities. But something really weird must have happened for black holes to not possess them.
Jupiter’s mysterious auroral events are caused by vibrating waves of plasma.
Science news presents a flood of breakthroughs and discoveries that promise to change our lives. They rarely do.
From the Palace of the Soviets to The Illinois, these unmade buildings would have taken the art of architecture to whole new heights.
On July 12, 2022, NASA will release the first science images taken with the James Webb Space Telescope. Here’s what to hope for.
The study is a solid step toward developing gene therapies against neurodevelopmental disorders.
Despite the vast number of planets in the Universe, Earth’s specific evolutionary history guarantees that its life forms — including humans — are utterly unique.
From cosmetic procedures to heart operations, the introduction of AI will create an ethical minefield.
The technology could yield “made-to-order resistance genes” to protect crops against pathogens and pests.
As Marcel Proust said, “The real voyage of discovery… consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
Memories aren’t mental recordings, but pliable information we can use to better manage the present and conjure future possibilities.
Explore how the study of exoplanets is transforming our understanding of ocean formation.
Everything that gets heated up has to, somehow, radiate that energy away. Here’s what we see when that happens in the Universe.
