How Nobel Prize winner physicist Lev Landau ranked the best physics minds of his generation.
Small sample size? No underlying theory? Conflicts with all other results? It checks all the boxes. There’s nothing that’s special, on a cosmic scale, about our place in the Universe. Not […]
A study reveals these brains exhibit less cortical surface area and gray matter.
With three colors and three anticolors, there aren’t actually nine gluons; only eight. One of the most puzzling features of the Universe is the strong nuclear force. Inside every proton or […]
Jim Peebles, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz just won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics. It couldn’t be more well-deserved. Every year, the Nobel Prize reminds all of humanity to […]
It’s been precisely 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang occurred. Here’s how we know.
Our ultimate fate depends on something we’ve barely begun to measure. One of the biggest mysteries in all of physics is dark energy. According to our best observations, the Universe cannot […]
They say that atoms are mostly 99.99999% empty space. But quantum physics says otherwise. If you were to look at what your body is made of, at smaller and more […]
A deep-learning model identifies a powerful new drug that can kill some antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
No, its not just to keep you warm with hair you don’t have.
If the multiverse is real, where does all the energy for it come from? One of the biggest scientific puzzles, even given our knowledge of the Big Bang, is to understand […]
The results of this study showed depressive symptoms being highest in adolescence, declining in early adulthood and then climbing back up again into one’s early 30s.
It’s not the only one of its kind, but it’s definitely makes no sense without dark matter. Throughout the Universe, galaxies and star clusters come in all different sizes and masses. […]
It’s one thing to find a galaxy that “shouldn’t exist.” It’s quite another to learn why it does. Above a certain size, spiral galaxies shouldn’t exist. A single major merger — where two […]
New analysis of Apollo 17 sample reveals clues to the Moon’s violent history.
The rites we give to the dead help us understand what it takes to go on living.
The study sheds new light on the relationship between sleep and mental health.
Seismic data from 2016 reveals a rare bi-directional boomerang earthquake.
You’re gonna die, cloud! All stars, even our Sun, will someday eventually die. After burning on the main sequence for billions of years, the Sun will expand into a red giant, […]
The images and our best computer models don’t agree.
If you thought it was just one rich region in space, look deeper and wider. Shining brilliantly in January’s skies is the Great Orion Nebula. By 10 PM every night in […]
Galaxies can have regions both hotter and colder than the background radiation of the Universe. When we talk about the depths of space, we get this picture in our heads […]
“I used to mountain climb… If I can’t walk anymore, I’ll crawl.”
We’ve already observed three cases where it’s happened. When you look at an object in space, it’s pretty easy to tell if it’s a star or a planet. Stars are […]
The multifaceted cerebellum is large — it’s just tightly folded.
Researchers observed “inter-brain coherence” (IBC) — a synchronisation in brain activity — between a musician and the audience.
Despite the recent headlines, it’s an extraordinarily unlikely proposition. Have you ever wondered, if it were possible to travel through space straight ahead as quickly as you could imagine, if […]
For the cosmos, it’s all too easy being green. Stars come in a wide variety of colors, but never green. Stars form in a wide variety of sizes, colors and masses, […]
