Physicists propose using time crystals to bring about a quantum computing revolution.
It’s “the biggest blow to the war on drugs to date,” said Kassandra Frederique, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot has been around for longer, but Saturn’s periodic storms are far larger. On Earth, hurricanes can span hundreds of kilometers, wreaking devastation whenever landfall occurs. In 2007, […]
It’s a precautionary measure stemming from fears that mutated coronavirus strains may reduce the efficacy of future vaccines.
We must rethink the “chemical imbalance” theory of mental health.
It turns out big ideas don’t always fit in sign-sized slogans.
And if it does strike us, how much damage will it cause? Will near-Earth asteroid Apophis strike us in 2068? Generically, asteroids under ~1 km in size are irregularly shaped, will […]
A large-scale study from King’s College London explores the link between genetics and sun-seeking behaviors.
We might live in a quantum Universe, but we’ll violate the principle of relativity if space is discrete. If you try and divide matter into smaller and smaller chunks, you’ll […]
There’s a lot left to understand, ponder, and investigate. And there always will be. For hundreds of thousands of years — nearly all of human history — we had no definitive answers to some of […]
Is feeling wretched actually helpful?
A new study pushes back on psychiatry industry talking points.
When two black holes that shouldn’t exist are seen merging, physics has some explaining to do. After years of searching for gravitational waves, it finally happened: LIGO bagged the biggest one […]
They said the “missing half” of the Universe’s matter was just found. But what they found barely makes a dent to the big picture. When we look up into the great […]
Astronomers propose new estimate of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy.
The raw ingredients just weren’t there. Thankfully, their predecessors were. Here on Earth, our planet practically overflows with life. After more than 4 billion years, life has spread to practically […]
In his new book, “The Wedge,” Scott Carney tests the boundaries of human resilience.
We know what effective teaching looks like. Implementing it can change the lives of Americans.
A new study shows the benefits of calorie restriction. Never has such advice been more needed.
Scientists envision a new type of organism ready to assist humans.
Those ancient Chinese philosophers earned their insights.
New research reveals that because of an optical illusion, we’ve been viewing sperm incorrectly for nearly 350 years.
It’s true that we have a thermodynamic arrow of time, and entropy always increases. But that can’t explain what we perceive. One of the enormous conceptual ideas that came along […]
“It’s not always about agreement, more often it’s about business.”
On the list of animals at risk are several endangered species.
It’s massive, it’s transparent, and it’s ubiquitous. But so is our ignorance. When we look out at the Universe, we have two general ways to try and make sense of […]
These alien-like creatures are virtually invisible in the deep sea.
Seismic data from 2016 reveals a rare bi-directional boomerang earthquake.
A clever new study definitively measures how long it takes for quantum particles to pass through a barrier.
