USGS’s ‘Unified Geologic Map of the Moon’ is the definitive blueprint of the lunar surface.
We just found the first one within 1,000 light-years of us. But there’s probably one much, much closer. For a long time, black holes were known to exist only in the […]
Focusing on the present moment has some strange effects on how people estimate stretches of time.
Even if you remove everything you can from the Universe, some energy will still remain. Here’s what that means. Imagine, if you can, what it would mean to have a Universe […]
Johns Hopkins University professor Susan Carnell explains the neuroscience behind eating out of boredom (and how to stop).
A black hole’s event horizon is thought of as the point of no return. But perhaps there are ways back out, after all. Black holes just might be the most extreme […]
“At this point our data is more valuable than oil,” Yang said. “If anyone benefits from our data it should be us.”
A new study lays out the case for the damaging effects of stress on orcas living in tanks.
Remaining silent is being complicit.
Think there are habitable super-Earths out there? Think again. Here in our Solar System, we have two very distinct types of planets: small, terrestrial, rocky worlds, with thin (or no) atmospheres […]
Here are 10 physics courses you can take now with some of the best experts in the world.
A new web startup is selling algorithmically produced nudes of non-existent women. There’s still some ethical concerns.
There’s a lot to get rid of if we want to get only our Universe out of String Theory. A lot of people, when they learn about String Theory for the […]

Can we ever be really sure we’ve learned everything about nature?
Debris from Pluto-sized collisions, not aliens, are streaming through the galaxy. In 2017, scientists discovered an object passing through our Solar System that was unlike anything else we had ever seen. […]
As soon as you start thinking about energy and gravity, you’ll realize the need to go beyond it. When it comes to a science like physics, theoretical expectations must always be […]
Without this one ingredient, there wouldn’t be enough ‘glue’ to hold the Universe together. Of all the things in the Universe to be thankful for — the stars, planets, atoms, molecules, and […]
