Combining years of neurological research and mindfulness techniques, Dr. Heather Berlin helps us better understand how the body’s most complex organ can easily be misled into negative thinking – and how we can stop that from happening.

Borrow the same technique that produced McDonald’s, the Hawaiian pizza, the Beatles’ greatest hits, and Shakespeare’s rhetorical flair.

In 1667, a core-collapse supernova happened right here in the Milky Way, invisible to all humans. ~350 years later, here’s what JWST sees.

It could prevent sun damage and help chemical burns heal faster.

While executive function matures between 18 and 20 years of age, the brain keeps changing long afterward.

A massive nuclear fusion experiment just hit a major milestone, potentially putting us a little closer to a future of limitless clean energy.

When we look at our Sun, its properties are incredibly constant, varying by merely ~0.1% over time. But all stars don’t play by those rules.

In hospice care and hospitals, we prioritize those with more life to live over those who are terminally ill. What is that, if not prejudice?

We often assume that movement means progress and that doing something is better than doing nothing. That is often not true.

Light can be turned into heat, which can then be turned into motion, and the effect of that motion can be turned into a big squeeze.

Once students master the basics of math, they are allowed to use calculators. The same should be true of writing and ChatGPT.

In our Universe, all stable atomic nuclei have protons in them; there’s no stable “neutronium” at all. But what’s the reason why?

We are wired to value things more when we work hard at attaining them — even if, objectively, they aren’t worth that much.

See the world through the eyes of a horse — or a cake pan.

Thanks to protocols established centuries ago in Europe, world leaders no longer need to worry about having their heads bashed with an axe.

The pursuit of excellence is a noble goal — but constantly having to prove your self-worth can derail your plans for success.

All matter particles can act as waves, and massless light waves show particle-like behavior. Can gravitational waves also be particle-like?

We need a hypothesis that accounts for both the fine-tuning of physics for life but also the arbitrariness and gratuitous suffering we find in the world.

Artificial intelligence can forecast the behavior of viruses and quickly make vaccines to thwart them.

The combined intellectual heft of multiple “big thinkers” delivered arguably the most successful scientific theory in history.

Survivorship bias occurs when we fail to consider how data was collected. To combat this, search for the “silent evidence.”

There are three kinds of failure. Only one can help you have a better shot of succeeding in the future. A Harvard business professor explains.

With JWST, Chandra, and gravitational lensing combined, evidence has emerged for the earliest black hole ever. And wow, is it a surprise!

“Precarious manhood” is the belief that manhood must be earned and constantly defended. It has a poor outcome.

A cure may be on the horizon.

What do ghosts and anomalous galaxy rotation rates have in common? Some sci-fi enthusiasts believe the answer involves “parallel universes.”

“Feedback is a gift,” is an easy bumper sticker to apply, but a harder philosophy to put into execution in your real life.

Sometimes, going “deeper” doesn’t reveal the answers you seek. By viewing more Universe with better precision, ESA’s Euclid mission shines.

Your BS detector might not be as accurate as you think.

Morning, afternoon, or night: When is the best time to exercise? Scientists have extensively studied this question. Here’s what they found.
