Lasers could cut lifespan of nuclear waste from “a million years to 30 minutes,” says Nobel laureate
Physicist plans to karate-chop them with super-fast blasts of light.
Let’s not kid ourselves: Coral reefs are in serious danger. But numerous ambitious projects are underway with the goal of keeping these ecosystems alive.
Since the 1940s, NASA has been testing experimental aircraft (aka X-planes) at California’s Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base. In the past two decades, however, the agency […]
A bit of planning goes a long way.
It might seem puzzling, in a Universe bound by the speed of light, that this could be true. Here’s the science behind it. If you look out into the distant Universe, […]
No one should be drinking more than 8oz. a day. Here’s why.
If dark energy is causing the Universe to disappear, how can we still find and see ultra-distant stars and galaxies? In the 1920s, scientists discovered that the Universe was expandingbased […]
Jordan Hall speculates on the fate of the species.
There’s a reason they call work “work.”
A clip of this disingenuous documentary is making the rounds.
Just because you can design an experiment to test for something doesn’t mean you should trust the results. Is there another Universe out there? The Universe we know and inhabit, the […]
13.8 billion years isn’t close to enough time, but if we wait long enough, even our Sun will become one. The Big Bang happened approximately 13.8 billion years ago, and it […]
A deep-learning model identifies a powerful new drug that can kill some antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Are you prone to “toxic accumulation”?
Going from a solitary teenage protester in front of the Swedish parliament to a global icon in little more than a year certainly merits a distinction.
A second step is to determine where violence concentrates and who is most at risk.
Glenn Albrecht has ideas about how to cope with the effects of a changing world: Invent a new language.
How can Innovation Central not manage to solve its own sprawling homelessness?
Does voting serve the collective good, or should we just not bother?
Our antipathy toward the natural world is bad. But it’s not too late to change.
It’s been spectacularly confirmed by observation, but theoretically, it couldn’t have been any other way. If the Sun were to spontaneously cease emitting light, we wouldn’t know about it for about […]
A fascinating mathematical structure exists that goes well beyond our common experience. Could it revolutionize physics? Perhaps the most remarkable fact about the Universe is that every particle within it — at […]
Controversial map names CEOs of 100 companies producing 71 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
In hopes of saving their countries, many small nations are making big promises on cutting emissions.
An entire Universe of possibilities await stars like our own, even after they run out of fuel. One of the most profound rules in all the Universe is that nothing lasts […]
It’s almost time to ‘spring forward.’
What leads people to believe in “chi” attacks and “no-touch” knockouts?
Our future fate is likely already determined. If we end in a Big Crunch, what does that mean? The ultimate fate of the Universe is one of the biggest existential questions […]
