As interest rates rise, the “dead pledge” may live up to its name.
Dark matter hasn’t been directly detected, but some form of invisible matter is clearly gravitating. Could the graviton hold the answer?
Many contemporary composers live in the shadow of Bach and Beethoven, even though they’re just as interesting to listen to.

Physics demands that it couldn’t be any other way. Here’s why. Ask anyone — even someone with no background in science — to name something that Einstein did, and odds are they’ll come back with […]
The massive craft could carry 100 humans to Mars and revolutionize space exploration.
Our Universe requires dark matter in order to make sense of things, astrophysically. Could massive photons do the trick?
Your life is far more arbitrary than you might think.
The fruits of long-term thinking will reveal themselves in five or ten or 30 years, when you’ve created the future you’ve always wanted.
In 2022, the probe will crash into an asteroid while a nearby satellite captures it on camera.
Air conditioning may keep a room cool, but using it is heating up the planet. It is time for something new — or old.
The shift from steam to electricity was inevitable — but some foresaw it earlier than others.
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 […]
Some constants, like the speed of light, exist with no underlying explanation. How many “fundamental constants” does our Universe require?
In 1957, humanity launched our first satellite; today’s number is nearly 10,000, with 500,000+ more planned. Space is no longer pristine.
There’s a fatal prion infection killing deer and elk across North America.
This is a time for family and friends to gather, watch the full moon and eat mooncakes and other delicacies.
The neutrino is the most ghostly, rarely-interacting particle in all the Standard Model. How well can we truly make “beams” out of them?
NASA is creating a planet habitability index, and Earth may not be at the top. With our current data, ranking habitability is guesswork.
A decade ago, scientists weren’t able to confidently connect any individual weather event to climate change, even though the warming trends were clear.
The credibility problem facing the biomedical and public health establishment is, at least in part, a product of its own making.
Many workers moved home on the promise or hope that they’d be able to keep working remotely at least some of the time after the pandemic ended.
Any dataset that can be quantified over time can be turned into a contest that is both exciting and (a little bit) enlightening.
