Some neuroscientists question whether the body can “keep score” of anything in a meaningful way.
Recent claims put LK-99 as the first room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor ever. Has the game changed, or is it merely hype?
While GLP-1 agonists help people lose weight, different drugs could help them retain muscle at the same time.
Much like energy and nutrients flow in a continuous cycle between the elements of a natural ecosystem, a free flow of knowledge fuels the growth of a learning ecosystem.
Wind energy is one of the cleanest, greenest sources of power. But could it have the sneaky side-effect of changing the weather?
If dogs are out in coats and boots, how are the squirrels feeling?
In our common experience, you can’t get something for nothing. In the quantum realm, something really can emerge from nothing.
Even if a balloon flies directly overhead, attempting to shoot it down with a conventional firearm is stupid, ineffective, and dangerous.
As early as we’ve been able to identify them, the youngest galaxies seem to have large supermassive black holes. Here’s how they were made.
Over time, the Universe becomes less dominated by dark matter and more dominated by dark energy. Is one transforming into the other?
Smashing things together at unprecedented energies sounds dangerous. But it’s nothing the Universe hasn’t already seen, and survived.
From hunter-gathers to desk jockeys, we work best when short, intense sessions are followed by lighter fare.
Our bodies crave more food if we haven’t had enough protein, and this can lead to a vicious cycle.
Could studying the Oriental hornet lead to a treatment for people with alcohol use disorder?
There’s an extra source of massive “stuff” in our Universe beyond what gravitation and normal matter can explain. Could light be the answer?
The strongest tests of curved space are only possible around the lowest-mass black holes of all. Their small event horizons are the key.
Cam Lawrence — CEO of international venture platform Newlab — joins Big Think Business to discuss his strategic vision for climate tech.
When three wise men gifted baby Jesus with gold, frankincense, and myrrh, they had no idea one was made from colliding neutron stars.
Explanations for the cosmic speed limit often conflate mass with inertia.
Particles are everywhere, including particles from space that stream through the human body. Here’s how they prove Einstein’s relativity.
It is generally ineffective, occasionally poisonous, and driving numerous species to the brink of extinction.
A human hand has the power to split wooden planks and demolish concrete blocks. A trio of physicists investigated why this feat doesn’t shatter our bones.
An incredible composite image of Pandora’s Cluster, Abell 2744, simultaneously showcases both our impressive knowledge and vast ignorance.
13.8 billion years ago, the hot Big Bang gave rise to the Universe we know. Here’s why the reverse, a Big Crunch, isn’t how it will end.
Every organization has a power block of dutiful but unappreciated talent. Here’s an effective plan for engagement.
An average undergraduate student in physics is better than the AI.
An army of replicators belonging to national laboratories, research universities, and amateur garages is rushing to replicate ambient superconductivity in LK-99.
