The nearby, bright star Fomalhaut had the first optically imaged planetary candidate. Using JWST’s eyes, astronomers found so much more.
This storm rained electrons, shifted energy from the sun’s rays to the magnetosphere, and went unnoticed for a long time.
Did the Milky Way form by slowly accreting matter or by devouring its neighboring galaxies? At last, we’re uncovering our own history.
From high school through the professional ranks, physicists never tire of Newton’s second law.
We know it couldn’t have began from a singularity. So how small could it have been at the absolute minimum?
For many years, cosmologists have claimed the Universe is 13.8 billion years old. A new paper says no, it’s 26.7 billion. How do we decide?
When we started imaging the Universe with Hubble, every star had four “spikes” coming from it. Here’s why Webb will have more.
Two types of nanotechnology, metalenses and metamaterials, could soon make Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak a reality.
Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.
After mammoth investments and two decades of anti-aging research, what do immortality proponents have to show for it?
In work and life, the rules of success are being redefined.
Elevated blood pressure, even within the normal range, is associated with accelerated brain aging.
Life arose on Earth very early on. After a few billion years, here we are: intelligent and technologically advanced. Where’s everyone else?
From wearable electronics to microscopic sensors to telemedicine, new advances like graphene and supercapacitors are bringing “impossible” electronics to life.
Hundreds of these cannabis-related chemicals now exist, both natural and synthetic, inspiring researchers in search of medical breakthroughs.
In Germany and France, having an Anglo-Saxon first name is a good predictor of extreme voting behavior.
A new model of the Antikythera mechanism reveals a “creation of genius.”
If it wasn’t a singularity, how small could it have been? Today, when you look out in any direction as far as the laws of physics allow us to see, the […]
Innovative thinking has done away with problems that long dogged the electric devices — and both scientists and environmentalists are excited about the possibilities.
Most people care what others think of them. In many situations, that can be leveraged for the common good.
From up close, the cracking sound of a thunderclap dominates. From far away, it’s more like a drawn-out rumble. Can science explain why?
A few years ago, the first dark matter-free galaxies were announced, and then immediately disputed. Now, there are too many to ignore.
We eat 50 billion chickens every year. Is there a better way?
A single lifetime is more than enough to take you to the limits of the Universe. Right now, there are only three things limiting how far our spacecrafts can take […]
There are a few clues that the Universe isn’t completely adding up. Even so, the standard model of cosmology holds up stronger than ever.
Can spacekime help us make headway on some of the most pernicious inconsistencies in physics?
If the metaverse is money, then companies will certainly want to play, too.
The experience of life flashing before one’s eyes has been reported for well over a century, but where’s the science behind it?
