A new study looks at what would happen to human language on a long journey to other star systems.
If the laws of physics are symmetrical as we think they are, then the Big Bang should have created matter and antimatter in the same amount.
Einstein’s “happiest thought” led to General Relativity’s formulation. Would a different profound insight have led us forever astray?
Robinson v. California helped to established a rehabilitative ideal: addiction should be dealt with as a therapeutic matter.
From the explosions themselves to their unique and vibrant colors, the fireworks displays we adore require quantum physics.
What we’ve seen isn’t necessarily what we get, but the most common world doesn’t look like ours. There’s a very common myth out there in astronomy: the idea that the Sun […]
“Think defensively about how you can protect yourself from an almost inevitable attack, rather than assuming you’ll avoid harm.”
From textiles and transportation to chemicals and microchips, a group of researchers proposes a new way to measure the impact of innovation.
After years of speculation a team of researchers has pinpointed the age of this ancient mystery.
