Life’s stages are changing – we need new terms and new ideas to describe how adults develop and grow
Ages 30 to 45 are now “the rush hour of life.”
The Standard Model may or may not be in trouble, but particle physics definitely needs saving. Here’s what the new LHC can do.
Scott Dikkers discusses comedy, the creative process, and life lessons learned playing peekaboo.
It’s a wild idea, but there’s a way to test it. No matter how far we look out in the Universe, there’s always more “Universe” to see. Even at the extreme […]
New anthropological research suggests our ancestors enjoyed long slumbers.
Forget billions and billions. When it comes to the number of galaxies in the Universe, both theorists’ and observers’ estimates are too low.
Many first-hand accounts from the golden age of piracy were grossly embellished, meaning it’s extremely difficult to separate Blackbeard the legend from Edward Thatch the person.
If the laws of physics are symmetrical as we think they are, then the Big Bang should have created matter and antimatter in the same amount.
Before Herbert came along and wrote Dune, few if any sci-fi stories were set in fully realized universes.
There will always be “wolf-criers” whose claims wither under scrutiny. But aliens are certainly out there, if science dares to find them.
And is anyone protecting children’s data?
Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that use online ledgers, called blockchains, to record transactions. These blockchains are decentralized, meaning the permanent record is not stored in one location but exists on […]

Types of therapy are about as different as the people who use it.
Many atheists think of themselves as intellectually gifted individuals, guiding humanity on the path of reason. Scientific data shows otherwise.
The far side of the Moon is incredibly different from the Earth-facing side. 63 years later, we know why the Moon’s faces are not alike.
Why should we rely on scientific conclusions even though they cannot be proven? A new essay offers compelling reasons.
Most cities reeked of death, defecation, and industrial waste. Still, focusing only on stench means turning a blind eye (or nose) to the many other smells that helped shape human history.
Writers, filmmakers, and mythologizing biographers tend to imagine innovation originates with a lone genius who has “the spark,” that light-bulb moment when the path from inspiration to world-altering invention reveals […]
Distinguishing fact from fiction can be tough, especially when it comes to people as controversial as Stalin.
The world isn’t ending! But we are likely at the beginning of a profound transformation.
An unprecedented number of new satellites threatens the night sky as we know it. Will we act in time to save it?
The Kalam cosmological argument asserts that everything that exists has a cause, and what caused the Universe? It’s got to be God.
Three cutting-edge techniques – the gene-editing tool CRISPR, fluorescent proteins and optogenetics – were all inspired by nature.
This biochemist is determined to create a new life form by reversing the shape of molecules.
In 2006, Pluto was demoted in a very controversial decision. Unless you ignore nearly all of planetary science, it’ll never be one again.
Many galaxies really are ultra-distant, but some are just intrinsically red or dusty. Only with spectroscopy can JWST tell which is which.
In ancient Greece, the Olympics were never solely about the athletes themselves.
