In theory, we could use high-energy lasers to make our own artificial black holes, potentially capturing the enormous energy they emit.
The National Institutes of Health recently began a $300-million study to examine the effects of screen time on developing brains.
A new study finds even babies can discern who leads and who bullies.
The expanding Universe really is accelerating, and no dusty scenario can explain it. 20 years ago, our understanding of the Universe underwent a revolution. For generations, we had known the Universe […]
The Buddha’s teachings seem to be on point.
When two different techniques give two different results, either someone is wrong, or something incredible is happening. Imagine you were a scientist attempting to measure some property of the Universe. […]
MIT researchers have discovered how to turn wasp venom into an antibiotic.
Studies from neuroscience highlight how the brain both helps with and prevents collaboration.
“Our results show why debates about controversial issues often seem so futile,” the researchers said.
There are real problems that our society faces, and only through expert-level knowledge can we solve them. All across the country, you can see how the seeds of it develop from […]
The laws of physics are not time-reversal invariant. Here’s how we know. No matter when, where, or what you are in the Universe, you experience time in only one direction: forwards. […]
While nothing is ever certain about the future, here are 10 great achievements you can bet on. Every year, unexpected scientific discoveries challenge what we know. Observations using the Atacama Large […]
If we find the earliest signal from the Universe’s birth, how can we be sure we aren’t fooling ourselves? When it comes to the origin of the Universe, the Big […]
Dark matter is one of the most puzzling, unintuitive concepts in all of physics. But we still need it. Our Universe isn’t like us. While we’re made of atoms, and other […]
Researchers have just discovered a new type of neuron that may be something unique to humans. It’s called the rose hip neuron, and its in our cerebral cortexes.
The Canadian professor has been on the Joe Rogan Experience six times. There’s a lot of material to discuss.
Evolution doesn’t clean up after itself very well.
Not everyone is satisfied with the Big Bang. But every alternative is a disastrous failure. It’s treated as though it’s an unassailable scientific truth: 13.8 billion years ago, the Universe […]
The answer has nothing at all to do with the Higgs boson. In this Universe, there are very few fundamental properties that cannot be derived from something simpler. The rules governing […]
The quest for a quantum theory of gravity is the holy grail of physics. Here’s why it’s murkier than anyone expected. If you want to fully describe how the Universe […]
Cutting edge social innovators should consider hybrid models
The road to harmony often means getting your hands dirty.
A growing middle-class is set to drive the sharing economy in the near future.
What would you do if money was no object?
Why? Because you have more cells, the researchers say.
Has the mystery really been solved? Doubtful. The real science goes much deeper. For perhaps the last year or so, a small galaxy located not too far away has captivated the […]
It took hundreds of thousands of years to make atoms for the first time. If things were just a little different, it could have taken an eternity. When it comes […]
