A 12-year study shows that these large lemurs have a sophisticated sense of rhythm.
If our nearest star has an Earth-like planet, here’s how we’ll see it. As seen from up close, the signs of not only life, but our intelligent, technologically advanced human civilization […]
Scalars, vectors, and tensors come up all the time in science. But what are they? One of the major goals of science is to describe our reality as accurately as possible. […]
Drones have a lot to learn from the landing abilities of birds.
Easily distracted? Try a “distractibility delay.”
For some reason, the charges on the electron and proton are equal and opposite, and their numbers are equal, too. But why?
From the earliest stages of the hot Big Bang (and even before) to our dark energy-dominated present, how and when did the Universe grow up?
What can elite athletes teach you about how to win?
Forget about the terawatt lasers we’re making on Earth. This natural one is thousands of times more powerful than the Sun.
A famous explorer’s doomed ship is finally found 107 years after it was lost to the Antarctic deep.
With LEDs bringing brighter nighttime lighting than ever before, and thousands of new satellites polluting the skies, astronomy needs help.
The conservation of energy is one of the most fundamental laws governing our reality. But in the expanding Universe, that’s just not true.
What started as a viral case of public shaming has morphed into a dark story involving internet sleuths, a criminal network, and the suspicious death of a 62-year-old man in St. Louis.
Determining if the universe is infinite pushes the limits of our knowledge.
At four million solar masses, the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is quite small for a galaxy its size. Did we lose the original?
Unplugging only ignores the hard work of overcoming your distractions.
Scientists agree that eons ago, a bacterium took up residence inside another cell and became its powerhouse, the mitochondrion. But there are competing theories about the birth of other organelles such as the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum.
Over 50 years since humans last walked on the Moon, astronaut footprints and rover tracks are still visible. But they won’t last forever.
In 1054, a core-collapse supernova occurred 6500 light-years away. In 2023, JWST imaged the remnant, and might solve a massive mystery.
There are a wide variety of theoretical studies that call our Standard Model of cosmology into question. Here’s what they really mean.
After years of analysis, the Event Horizon Telescope team has finally revealed what the Milky Way’s central black hole looks like.

There’s a quantum limit to how precisely anything can be measured. By squeezing light, LIGO has now surpassed all previous limitations.
Is the Universe the same everywhere? Or are there truly ‘special places’ around? For practically all of human history, one assumption about our place in the Universe had long gone unchallenged: […]
When you imitate the speech of others, there’s a thin line between whether it’s a social asset or faux pas.
The research suggests that roughly 1 percent of galaxy clusters look atypical and can be easily misidentified.
They are expected to be cheaper to build and even more reliable than today’s nuclear plants.
When constructed well, post-training survey questions can provide a wealth of information that helps guide future design decisions.
The most unique interloper into our Solar System has a natural explanation that fits perfectly — no aliens required.
