Researchers have discovered 830-million-year-old microbes living inside a salt rock on Earth. Could the same occur on Mars?
A revolution of the mind must occur in order for humanity to succeed on a finite planet.
The universe is only 13.8 billion years old, but we can see back 46.1 billion light-years. Here’s how the expanding universe does it.
With a telescope at just the right distance from the Sun, we could use its gravity to enhance and magnify a potentially inhabited planet.
It is wrong to think that these three statements contradict each other. We need to see that they are all true to see that a better world is possible.
Shoving platelet-rich plasma up your nose might restore your sense of smell after COVID. But whether it actually works still needs to be sniffed out.
There are many things that separate science from ideology, politics, philosophy, or religion. Follow these 10 commandments to get it right.
Just 12 million light-years away, the galaxies Messier 81 and 82 offer a nearby preview of the Milky Way-Andromeda merger.
A few years ago, the first dark matter-free galaxies were announced, and then immediately disputed. Now, there are too many to ignore.
New mathematics have shown that lines of energy can be used to describe the universe.
The sharpest optical images, for now, come from the Hubble Space Telescope. A ground-based technique can make images over 100 times sharper.
Coupled with 3D printing, biomining the Moon or Mars with microbes could sustain human colonies without constant re-supply from Earth.
If you go young, blue, and massive, you top out at 50,000 K. That’s peanuts! Surprise! The biggest, most massive stars aren’t always the hottest. Although its neighbor, Messier 42, […]
Electricity from solar energy is the cheapest it’s ever been, thanks largely to technological improvements and policies that reduce the risk of investing in renewable energy. That’s one of the […]
Scientists agree that eons ago, a bacterium took up residence inside another cell and became its powerhouse, the mitochondrion. But there are competing theories about the birth of other organelles such as the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum.
Pain makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. What’s puzzling is why so many of us choose to seek out painful experiences.
Do they have real, observable effects, or are they merely calculational tools?
Is LK-99 truly a room temperature superconductor? These 4 tests, none of which have yet been passed, will separate fact from fiction.
Yorkicystis lived during the “Cambrian explosion,” 539 million to 485 million years ago – hundreds of million years before the dinosaurs.
There’s a limit to how large planets can be, and it’s only about double the radius of Jupiter. At least, so far.
If you think you know how an astronomical nova works, buckle up. You’re in for a ride like you never expected.
The psychology of people who cut off all communication—and how that affects their partners.
Passing chunks of ice can fertilize ocean waters and play a role in the planet’s carbon cycle.
In May 2018, the city of Paris set an ambition to be carbon-neutral by 2050.
Move over, IC 1101. You may be impressively large, but you never stood a chance against the largest known galaxy: Alcyoneus.
Do we actually live in a deterministic Universe, despite quantum physics? An alternative, non-spooky interpretation has now been ruled out.
The Standard Model of elementary particles has three nearly identical copies of particles: generations. And nobody knows why.
Scientists have discovered enzymes from several plastic-eating bacteria. So, why are our oceans still full of plastic pollution?
