Most exoplanets have been found around single stars via the transit method. But binary star systems might contain even more of them.
The new record-holder opens up a literal Universe full of possibilities. Someday, even our own Sun will eventually run out of hydrogen fuel in its core, bringing a tremendous set […]
Flow occurs when a task’s challenge is balanced with one’s skill.
A new survey, the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey, has found more lenses than all others put together. One of Einstein’s most revolutionary predictions is that mass bends light. During a […]
Movie soundtracks don’t just help us recall the plot of a film; they also allow us to better understand its meaning.
We are likely to see the first humans walk on Mars this decade.
Enough mass in one location will always create a black hole. But not all masses are possible. If you take enough mass and compress it into a small enough volume […]
The model is almost eight hours ahead of a doctor’s recognition of a patient’s deterioration.
Remarkable ‘fan art’ commemorates 50th anniversary of legendary guitar player’s passing.
Many galaxies really are ultra-distant, but some are just intrinsically red or dusty. Only with spectroscopy can JWST tell which is which.
Before we formed stars, atoms, elements, or even got rid of our antimatter, the Big Bang made neutrinos. And we finally found them.
We frequently say it’s 2.725 K: from the light left over all the way from the Big Bang. But that’s not all that’s in the Universe.
A tiny layer of microscopic dust is the only reason it appears red. When we look out at our planet Earth from space, we see a myriad of diverse colors. The […]
The photometric filters for the Vera Rubin Observatory are complete and showcase why they are indispensable for astronomy.
Today, a quickly emerging set of technologies known as bioprinting is poised to push the boundaries further.
New chip eliminates the need for specific decoding hardware, boosting gaming systems, 5G networks, and more.
The definitive answer requires better, unbiased data. Despite all the advances that have occurred in human history, one extraordinary puzzle still remains right in our own backyard: we aren’t sure how […]
Mastodons, rhinos, and even camels — all in the great state of California.
Journey to the West is rightly considered one of the most influential novels ever written, but the real reason for its success may be its charismatic poster-boy: The Monkey King.
Brands manufacture meaning through consensus; people must strive to create their own.
“What am I missing?” is a question that journalist Mónica Guzmán thinks more people should start asking.
Many key inventions were unique: one-offs.
Scientists are using bioelectronic medicine to treat inflammatory diseases, an approach that capitalizes on the ancient “hardwiring” of the nervous system.
Known as primordial black holes, they could thoroughly change our Universe’s history. But the evidence is strongly against them.
Most of us will never run a 4 minute mile. But on a bicycle, almost anyone can do it. As human beings, we often take for granted how our bodies work. […]
Scientists successfully trained people to use robotic extra thumbs, suggesting body augmentation could revolutionize future humans.
Dark matter has never been directly detected, but the astronomical evidence for its existence is overwhelming. Here’s what to know.
The prize went to three researchers who revolutionized the social sciences by taking advantage of natural experiments.
The scientists, not the fossil fuel industry, were right all along. Back in 1990, the world’s top climate scientists convened to put together a report on the state of Earth’s climate. […]
