“Politics is weird. It’s the only business in the world in which you take a really, really important position, and you give it to someone with no qualifications.” —Tony Blair
If the electromagnetic and weak forces unify to make the electroweak force, maybe, at higher energies, something even grander happens?
The image you’re seeing isn’t a hole in the Universe, and the cosmic voids that do exist aren’t hole-like at all.
The Industrial Revolution changed music forever, thanks to a combination of technological advances and clever entrepreneurs.
A computer that could decidedly pass Alan Turing’s test would represent a major step toward artificial general intelligence.
In the early 20th century, a young biochemist named Alexander Oparin set out to connect “the world of the living” to “the world of the dead.”
Some constants, like the speed of light, exist with no underlying explanation. How many “fundamental constants” does our Universe require?
The contact binary system KIC 9832227 is worth another look. Astronomers have seen some incredible occurrences across space and time. The nova of the star GK Persei, shown here in an […]
As Abraham Lincoln famously said, “If you want to test a man’s character, give him power and a plate of cookies.” (Something like that.)
Inspired by the group behaviors of simple animals, a team of roboticists has developed a new way for swarm robots to maneuver on land.
Inventions with revolutionary potential made by a mysterious aerospace engineer for the U.S. Navy come to light.
A puzzling — and huge — break in the geological record finally might be explained.
When you say, “I’ll get it done this week,” you’re just lying to yourself.
Wealth concentration among elites was common in ancient nations, but the scale on which it took place in Egypt’s 18th Dynasty was unprecedented.
With change management training, learning and development leaders can help their talent avoid the common pitfalls that stall transformation.
Einstein’s laws of gravity have been challenged many times, but have always emerged victorious. Could wide binary stars change all that?
65 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth. Not only did Jupiter not stop it, but it probably caused the impact itself.
Peer coaching can play a key role in building resilient, high-performing teams, while allowing remote workers to connect with one another from afar.
We just observed the first ‘lunar formation’ in an exoplanetary system. This one image, above, is the first to show moons actively forming around a planet. This colourful image shows […]
Researchers find that the coffee pulp is valuable in its own right.
OCD and addiction may result in part from improper “reward” pathways in the brain. Ultrasound can disrupt those pathways.
The odds are slim, but the consequences would be devastating. Here’s what would happen, plus how to avoid it.
Price gouging is prohibited in 34 US states and Washington D.C. But two scholars ask whether that’s the way it should be.
