A machine learning algorithm has shown it can discover planets from weak signals overlooked in the Kepler spacecraft’s database.
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will not only be the space-based successor to LIGO, but will predict black hole mergers up to years in advance. Across the Universe, innumerable masses […]
Perhaps moving the entire planet into a different orbit could help us avoid the boiling of the oceans. It’s unorthodox, but not entirely off-the-wall, says astrophysicist Ethan Siegel.
Unraveling the psychology behind gun ownership may offer fresh insight into the gun control debate.
Social observers are particularly attuned to braggadocio. What do you think of a person who claims to be a better driver, performer or lover than average? Is this person better […]
Several investigations have looked into the Taos hum. One scientist believes he has the most likely culprit.
