The laws of physics aren’t changing. But the Earth’s conditions are different than what they used to be, and so are hurricanes as a result.
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 “little red dots” were touted as being too massive, too early, for cosmology to explain. With new knowledge, everything adds up.
For centuries, Newton’s inverse square law of gravity worked beautifully, but no one knew why. Here’s how Einstein finally explained it.
There are two fundamentally different ways of measuring the Universe’s expansion. They disagree. “Early dark energy” might save us.
Straddling the bounds of science and religion, Newton wondered who set the planets in motion. Astrophysics reveals the answer.
From inside our Solar System, zodiacal light prevents us from seeing true darkness. From billions of miles away, New Horizons finally can.
Of the world’s 300 honey varieties, none is stranger and more dangerous than mad honey.
Even with only 12.5 hours of exposure time, James Webb’s first deep-field image taught us lessons we’ve never realized before.
Many were expecting extremism survivor and free speech advocate Salman Rushdie to take home the Nobel Prize in Literature, but Annie Ernaux beat him to it.
Argentina’s black market for cash is embracing crypto — but it’s not what crypto proponents expected.
The structure of our Solar System has been known for centuries. When we finally started finding exoplanets, they surprised everyone.
The near and far sides of the Moon are so different from each other, and no one is sure why. New lunar samples could confirm a wild theory.
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.
Fossil Cycad National Monument held America’s richest deposit of petrified cycadeoid plants, until it didn’t.
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.
The Virtual Metaverse will be for gaming and other short duration uses, while the Augmented Metaverse will revolutionize society.
In the early stages of the hot Big Bang, there were only free protons and neutrons: no atomic nuclei. How did the first elements form from them?
The Universe’s history, from cosmic inflation to the Big Bang to the present, is known. But whether it’s infinite or not is still a mystery.
In the early stages of the hot Big Bang, matter and antimatter were (almost) balanced. After a brief while, matter won out. Here’s how.
The pilot project is in 10 stores and is 85% accurate.
From forming bound states to normal scattering, many possibilities abound for matter-antimatter interactions. So why do they annihilate?
Humans who’ve lived through the same events often remember them differently. Could quantum physics be responsible?
Despite all that we’ve learned about the Universe, there remain unanswered, and possibly unanswerable, questions. Could “God” be the answer?
The future of healthcare may bring powerful collaborations between AI and medical professionals.
Predicted way back in the 1960s, the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 completed the Standard Model. Here’s why it remains fascinating.
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful particle accelerator ever. To go even further, we’ll have to overcome something big.
As interest rates rise, the “dead pledge” may live up to its name.
The right questions are those sparked from the joy of discovery.
