“This will be one of the most important datasets since the mapping of the Human Genome.”

By building a learning culture, L&D leaders can equip their organizations to adapt to a business world that is transforming before our eyes.

China’s dominance of the rare earth metal industry is part of its overall geopolitical strategy.

Is it groupthink? Or is there a deeper reason? In the early half of the 20th century, even after the discovery of the expanding Universe, physicists considered a wide variety of […]

Humans who’ve lived through the same events often remember them differently. Could quantum physics be responsible?

In July of 2022, the first science images from JWST were unveiled. Two years later, it’s changed our view of the Universe.

Its apples taste bad, but institutions all over the world want a descendant or clone of the tree, anyway.

It’s like radar, but with light. Distributed acoustic sensing — DAS — picks up tremors from volcanoes, quaking ice and deep-sea faults, as well as traffic rumbles and whale calls.

The James Webb Space Telescope could help scientists learn about the cosmic dark ages and how they ended.

A spherical structure nearly one billion light-years wide has been spotted in the nearby Universe, dating all the way back to the Big Bang.

Scientists with the the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Surveys spent six years creating a detailed map of more than 1 billion galaxies.

Are dark matter and dark energy both two sides of the same coin? When it comes to the Universe, what you can easily see isn’t always reflective of all there is. […]

Can biomaterials help finally thrust perovskite solar cells to mainstream adoption?

A new technique for analyzing networks can tell who wields soft power.

To do more, it sometimes pays to do nothing at all.

We need more and better data to know, but that’s exactly what’s coming. Over the past few decades, a number of important advances have helped revolutionize our picture of the Universe. […]

An exclusive interview with physicist Lee Smolin reveals how abandoning Einstein’s dream may have been a terrible mistake.

Can quantum computers do things that standard, classical computers can’t? No. But if they can calculate faster, that’s quantum supremacy.

Any dataset that can be quantified over time can be turned into a contest that is both exciting and (a little bit) enlightening.

Some think the reason fundamental scientific revolutions are so rare is because of groupthink. It’s not; it’s hard to mess with success.

With JWST, Chandra, and gravitational lensing combined, evidence has emerged for the earliest black hole ever. And wow, is it a surprise!

Want to live 100+ years? You may need unusually good DNA repair.

Deep underwater, temperatures are close to freezing and the pressure is 1,000 times higher than at sea level.

Most male mammals have little or nothing to do with their kids. Why is our own species different?

Everyone has pondered what they would do with an extra hour a day. Would they get more sleep or spend more time with family? Spend time on a side project […]

A new study explains how a chaotic region just outside a black hole’s event horizon might provide a virtually endless supply of energy.

We have to use the right definition for the specific question we’re asking. When it comes to the Universe, we frequently characterize objects by examining and reporting on their physical […]

It’s one of Einstein’s most bizarre predictions. And it’s true. There’s no such thing as absolute time. No matter where you are, how fast you’re moving, or how strong the gravitational […]

It’s not about leaves in tall trees.

A gigantic bacterium evolved differently than fundamental models of biology would have predicted. Simply put, these bacteria shouldn’t exist.
