Athletes often use creatine to boost performance and aid muscle recovery. Accumulating evidence suggests it could also help with depression.

Just eight of Etched’s Sohu chips could replace 160 Nvidia GPUs.

Let’s celebrate the progress, but put the cork back in the champagne bottle.

There are two fundamentally different ways of measuring the Universe’s expansion. They disagree. “Early dark energy” might save us.

Known as orphaned planets, rogue planets, or planets without parent stars, these “outliers” might be the most common type of planet overall.

In a major advance, scientists have found a new and groundbreaking way to force electrons to flow only in one direction in a superconductor.

Atomic clocks keep time accurately to within 1 second every 33 billion years. Nuclear clocks could blow them all away.

Most of us only ever see a fraction of a full rainbow: an arc. But optically, a full rainbow makes a complete circle. Physics explains why.

“The pulsar sort of consumes the thing that recycled it, just as the spider eats its mate.”

On Earth, carbon can form millions of compounds, while silicon is largely stuck inside rocks. But elsewhere, silicon could form the basis of life.

Will you die when your body dies?

There are many theories of gravity out there, and many interpretations of wide binary star data. What have we really learned from it all?

On the largest scales, galaxies don’t simply clump together, but form superclusters. Too bad they don’t remain bound together.

By digging deep, we could harness enough energy to power generations to come. But it involves fracking.

Whenever something goes wrong — in business as in life — we tend to get cause and effect totally muddled up.

In a distant galaxy, a cosmic dance between two supermassive black holes emits periodic flashes of light.

Cal Newport explains how you and your teams can accomplish more while improving quality and supercharging workplace morale.

In 1995, Hubble peered at the Pillars of Creation, forever changing our view. Now in 2022, JWST completes the star-forming puzzle.

When faced with too many choices, many of us freeze — a phenomenon known as “analysis paralysis.” Why? Isn’t choice a good thing?

1.9 billion years ago, a star’s explosive death created a black hole. Its light just arrived at Earth. But did it set a cosmic record?

The comedian and musician behind the viral hit “BBL Drizzy” shares the books that shaped his thinking and approach to art.

We frequently say it’s 2.725 K: from the light left over all the way from the Big Bang. But that’s not all that’s in the Universe.

Achieving values and pursuing growth is the real secret to a fulfilled life.

For a plan to go as smooth as clockwork, be prepared to pounce on opportunity.

“Choose not to be harmed—and you won’t feel harmed,” advised Stoic philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius. He had a point.

The placebo effect is real. So are the ethical conundrums posed by those who would exploit the latest research advances for profit.

Great tidal ranges are relatively rare on a global scale — and can be very deadly to the unsuspecting foreshore walker.

Finding out how the Universe grew up was the biggest science goal of JWST. This ultra-early proto-galaxy cluster is one amazing discovery.

Hunger rates are rising. These technologies could turn the tide.

We can all sleep a little more soundly.
