A question that’s baffled physicists for nine years has been resolved by the simplest possible answer.
In one generation, the climate of many American cities will experience a noticeable shift.
Why does dark matter, if it doesn’t dissipate energy, become gravitationally bound at all? One of the most puzzling components of the Universe has to be dark matter. Although we have […]
A new immunotherapy treatment is showing positive signs in early-stage clinical trials.
How the phenomenon of time dilation became very real to me … at a monastery.
A new paper claims that scientists might be wildly mistaken about the density — and therefore, the shape — of our universe.
And does it require the idea of ‘negative gravity’ in order to work? The biggest question that we’re even capable of asking, with our present knowledge and understanding of the Universe, […]
Hundreds more are documented in Robert Macfarlane’s Landmarks.
The light we observe isn’t the same as the light that gets emitted. Here’s what causes it. The light you see, when you look out at the stars and galaxies that […]
When the supernova occurs, a whole slew of signals will arrive at once. But there’s one hint that could successfully warn us in advance. As Betelgeuse continues to vary in brightness […]
Within the next billion years, the Magellanic Clouds might merge with our galaxy. But the new stars are already here. Within the Milky Way, there are only a few instances of […]
Scientists envision a new type of organism ready to assist humans.
Electron-positron or proton-proton colliders are all the rage. But the unstable muon might be the key to unlocking the next frontier. If you want to probe the frontiers of fundamental […]
Black hole mergers are some of the most energetic events in the Universe. Could the gravitational waves they produce ever harm us? The Universe is not a static, stable place. Out […]
As time goes on, every galaxy beyond our local group will speed away from us faster and faster. And yet, more will keep appearing. The farther away a galaxy is […]
It marks the first time a plant has been grown on the moon.
Many people, including some scientists, fear that the coming 5G WiFi revolution will harm humans. Here’s why that’s unfounded. Over the coming few years, a new set of infrastructure will […]
How an off-the-radar Nobel Prize brings us ever nearer to finding a major cure.
If they saw us as we were before the recent industrial revolution, would there be any reason to particularly care about us? All across the Universe, trillions of galaxies can be […]
It’s one of cosmology’s biggest unsolved mysteries. The strongest argument against it may have just evaporated. The ultimate goal of cosmology contains the greatest ambition of any scientific field: to […]
From ultra-realistic graphics to more intelligent A.I. characters, the 2020s will bring some mind-bending video games.
In order to gain more from spending time alone, it is important to be open to the benefits that solitude can bring.
From galaxies with no dark matter to ones with hundreds of times more dark matter than normal, our Universe needs it more than ever. One of the most mysterious substances in […]
For decades, one of the Big Bang’s greatest predictions was shrouded in doubt. The answer was always there on Channel 3. When it comes to the question of how our Universe […]
The pendulum didn’t tick right when they brought it here: the start of a fascinating story. For nearly three full centuries, the most accurate way that humanity kept track of […]
And if the data is good enough, we can determine that it’s accelerating directly, too, silencing the last remaining doubters. If you want to understand what the Universe is made […]
A biologist-reporter investigates his fungal namesake.
Rest assured: Kooky ideas like the Earth being flat or vaccines causing autism are nothing new. Humanity has had worse ideas before.
