The controversy over the universe’s expansion rate continues with a new, faster estimate.
We bring multifaceted selves to our interactions, and in these interactions co-create each other again and again.
We know it couldn’t have began from a singularity. So how small could it have been at the absolute minimum?
Recasting the iconic Carrington Event as just one of many superstorms in Earth’s past, scientists reveal the potential for even more massive eruptions from the sun.
Hidden variables aren’t ruled out, but they can’t get rid of quantum weirdness. Ever since the discovery of the bizarre behavior of quantum systems, we’ve been forced to reckon with […]
Yes, the Universe is expanding, but you might wonder, “How fast is it expanding?”
With 5,000 square degrees of data, the Dark Energy Survey has something important to say. For as long as humans have been studying the Universe, we’ve yearned to know the answers […]

After my father died, my journey of rediscovery began with the Czech language.
A single lifetime is more than enough to take you to the limits of the Universe. Right now, there are only three things limiting how far our spacecrafts can take […]
Named M51-ULS-1b, it’s certainly a curious astronomical event. But the evidence is far too weak to conclude “planet.”
Engineered immune cells have prevented Type 1 diabetes in mice.
Serving as the inspiration for the modern horror classic “The Blair Witch Project,” what does our fascination with this unsolvable mystery tell us about our modern psyche?
A new study explains how a chaotic region just outside a black hole’s event horizon might provide a virtually endless supply of energy.
Time always moves in the same direction, but what if the Universe were contracting? As we step forward in time, a number of things always seem to happen together. Objects […]
It’s been precisely 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang occurred. Here’s how we know.
