EV charging stations are the most widespread alternative to gas and diesel pumps. Each alternative has its own hotspots and “deserts.”

The double-slit experiment, hundreds of years after it was first performed, still holds the key mystery at the heart of quantum physics.

There are so many problems, all across planet Earth, that harm and threaten humanity. Why invest in researching the Universe?

The science fiction dream of a traversable wormhole is no closer to reality, despite a quantum computer’s suggestive simulation.

The quantum world is one in which rules that are completely foreign to our everyday experience dictate bizarre behavior.

A “bio-battery” made from genetically engineered bacteria could store excess renewable energy and release it as needed.

2023 is an exciting time for the study of quark-gluon plasmas.

When Star Trek’s Captain Picard and The Office’s Dwight Schrute channel philosopher Karl Jaspers, we can all benefit.

Radically improve your work-life speaking and presentation skills with a technique used by musicians and brand-name politicians.

It has no moving parts and could allow us to tap into renewable energy year round.

Billions of years ago, the ever-increasing entropy must’ve been much lower: the past hypothesis. Here’s how cosmic inflation solves it.

In all the Universe, only a few particles are eternally stable. The photon, the quantum of light, has an infinite lifetime. Or does it?

It was barely a century ago that we thought the Milky Way encompassed the entirety of the Universe. Now? We’re not even a special galaxy.

Thanks to observations of gravitational waves, scientists were able to settle a longstanding debate over the speed of gravity.

Two very different ideas, wormholes and quantum entanglement, might be fundamentally related. What would “ER = EPR” mean for our Universe?

Every organization has a power block of dutiful but unappreciated talent. Here’s an effective plan for engagement.

We don’t yet know if these strange “obelisks” are helpful or harmful.

Pro-athletes are entertainers. Being healthy means something else.

An excerpt from renowned neuropsychologist Nicholas Humphrey’s book “Sentience: The Invention of Consciousness.”

At a fundamental level, only a few particles and forces govern all of reality. How do their combinations create human consciousness?

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

Our bodies crave more food if we haven’t had enough protein, and this can lead to a vicious cycle.

Our model of the Universe, dominated by dark matter and dark energy, explains almost everything we see. Almost. Here’s what remains.

The great hope is that beyond the indirect, astrophysical evidence we have today, we’ll someday detect it directly. But what if we can’t?

Deliveries of the $250k Lightyear 0 will start in November 2022.

Every power source involves trade-offs. Given the challenges of increasing demand and climate change, what is the future of energy?

An army of replicators belonging to national laboratories, research universities, and amateur garages is rushing to replicate ambient superconductivity in LK-99.

It is generally ineffective, occasionally poisonous, and driving numerous species to the brink of extinction.

If words are really only 7% of communication, then why would anyone need to learn a foreign language?

We confidently state that the Universe is known to be 13.8 billion years old, with an uncertainty of just 1%. Here’s how we know.
