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.

Wearable technology can help increase lifespan by changing what we know about our dietary needs and creating new ways to exercise.
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. […]
Up until 2002, we thought that the heaviest stable element was bismuth: #83 on the periodic table. That’s absolutely no longer the case.
In terms of sheer productivity, “-gate” has no peer. Wikipedia’s list of -gates has over 260 entries.
Popular media often frame scientists as having a cold, sterile view of the world. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
There are many theories of gravity out there, and many interpretations of wide binary star data. What have we really learned from it all?
When maps meet stamps, you get a love child called “cartophilately.”
Determining if the universe is infinite pushes the limits of our knowledge.
NicoBoard is an app that helps parents make sense of a frightening time.
Bloodcurdling war cries, shrieking elephants, and whistling arrows all made soldiers flee in terror.
Can quantum computers do things that standard, classical computers can’t? No. But if they can calculate faster, that’s quantum supremacy.
When the average person has a “theory,” they’re just guessing. But for a scientist, a theory is the pinnacle of what we can achieve.
The most unique interloper into our Solar System has a natural explanation that fits perfectly — no aliens required.
The Universe isn’t just expanding, the expansion is also accelerating. If that’s true, how will the Milky Way and Andromeda eventually merge?
If light can’t be bent by electric or magnetic fields (and it can’t), then how do the Zeeman and Stark effects split atomic energy levels?
Da Vinci dreamed up a helicopter 400 years before they actually existed. Now, engineers have brought his design to life, but with a twist.
The highest-energy particles could be a sign of new, unexpected physics. But the simplest, most mundane explanation is particularly iron-ic.
“When molecules misbehave, it can lead to great insight.”
Even with all the recent impacts we’ve seen, it might be more “foe” than “friend” to us.
Although human beings arrived on Earth just ~300,000 years ago, we’ve transformed the entire planet completely. Here’s how we did it.
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: […]
It’s no longer just VR vs. AR. There is an alphabet soup of metaverse acronyms, often used imprecisely. So, what do they all mean?
Known as orphaned planets, rogue planets, or planets without parent stars, these “outliers” might be the most common planet of all.
The research suggests that roughly 1 percent of galaxy clusters look atypical and can be easily misidentified.
Despite the Sun’s high core temperatures, particles can’t quite overcome their mutual electric repulsion. Good thing for quantum physics!
In theory, the fabric of space could have been curved in any way imaginable. So why is the Universe flat when we measure it?
With advanced laser technology and an appropriate sail, we could accelerate objects to ~20% the speed of light. But would they survive?
