In the future, driving an app across a bridge could let engineers know how safe it is.

The discovery suggests that the “Boring Billion” period of evolution on Earth wasn’t so boring after all.

Five times in U.S. history, American presidential candidates have ascended to leadership despite lacking the popular vote. Here’s how.

Richard Reeves explains the big problems facing men today — and why no one is talking about them.

Consumer debt shapes American lives so thoroughly that it seems eternal and immortal, but it’s actually relatively new to the financial world.

A National Center for Data and Evidence could supplement our archaic and expensive system and more accurately measure AI’s impact on jobs.

Even before birth, our brains are taking note of the languages we hear.

This is the latest study to confirm that the brain does not fully mature until at least the third decade of life.

The secret sauce is the real world.

Once water gets more than about 200 feet deep, building on the sea floor is out of the question.

From quarks and gluons to giant galaxy clusters, everything that exists in our Universe is determined by what is (and isn’t) bound together.

There are a few clues that the Universe isn’t completely adding up. Even so, the standard model of cosmology holds up stronger than ever.

Clever girl.

The “subarachnoidal lymphatic-like membrane” helps shield and protect the brain.

An argument for emphasis on subjective experience.

The idea is to study the thing itself — be it a work of literature, death, family, a car, a vaccine, or the hospital — without preconceived notions, trendy easy answers, or dogma imposed on it.

In the 20th century, many options abounded as to our cosmic origins. Today, only the Big Bang survives, thanks to this critical evidence.

Such discoveries help researchers better understand the development of molecular complexity in space during star formation.

2022 was another busy year in the realm of science, with groundbreaking stories spanning space, materials, medicine, and technology.

The hot Big Bang is often touted as the beginning of the Universe. But there’s one piece of evidence we can’t ignore that shows otherwise.

To maintain momentum and flow, the great novelist Ernest Hemingway didn’t burn himself out — but learned when to put his work down.
