What the hell is “re-engineering business value creation systems” anyway?

A scientist’s first-hand account shows the world can tackle a global environmental crisis.

It’s possible to remove all forms of matter, radiation, and curvature from space. When you do, dark energy still remains. Is this mandatory?

Individual space telescopes, like Hubble and JWST, revolutionized our knowledge of the Universe. What if we had an array of them, instead?

We understand many things about our Universe, and our home within it, extremely well. The number of stars in the Milky Way isn’t among them.

All across the Universe, planets come in a wide variety of sizes, masses, compositions, and temperatures. And most have rain and snow.

The pandemic and the Great Resignation fed into a perfect storm of inflation — and some restaurateurs cleaned up.

It’s 2024, and we still only know of the fundamental particles of the Standard Model: nothing more. But these 8 unanswered questions remain.

We are tearing ourselves apart over gender issues, with the result that the problems of boys and men are left untreated.

One of the winners. Dr. K. Barry Sharpless, is now the fifth person in history to win two Nobels.

Inflation, dark matter, and string theory are all proposed extensions to the prior consensus picture. But what does the evidence say?

Just as storylines make sense only when you have the context of the beginning and the end, listeners need to understand the impetus for why the album was even made.

Toxoplasmosis, which results from a chance encounter with a cougar and the parasite it carries, can push a wolf to seek alpha status.

JWST has seen more distant galaxies than any other observatory, ever. But many candidates for “most distant of all” are likely impostors.

The “attention economy” corrupts science.

The spray uses snippets of DNA to gum up virus replication.

Many Americans aren’t rejecting spirituality, just practicing it differently.

About the project The goal of driving more progress across the world—scientifically, politically, economically, socially, etc—is one shared by many. And yet, debates about the best way to maximize progress […]

If tourism is the lifeblood of the Peruvian economy, then Machu Picchu is the heart pumping that blood — in sickness and in health.

We’ve only seen Uranus up close once: from Voyager 2, back in 1986. The next time we do it, its features will look entirely different.

Earth, the only rocky planet with a large, massive satellite, is greatly affected by the Moon. Destroying it would cause 7 major changes.

A longstanding mismatch between theory and experiment motivated an exquisite muon measurement. At last, a theoretical solution has arrived.

Research suggests that to maintain a healthy brain, we should tend our gut microbiome.

Many impact craters on Earth have been erased thanks to wind, water, and plate tectonics. But scientists have clever ways to find them.

The quantum world — and its inherent uncertainty — defies our ability to describe it in words.

What do you call it when the Earth shakes for three decades?

Our understanding always will remain incomplete.

Recent research suggests that Earth’s magnetic field bounced back just as complex life was starting to emerge on our planet.
