Though he renounced philosophy, Stephen Hawking’s final theory of the universe redraws the basic foundations of cosmology.

JWST has seen more distant galaxies than any other observatory, ever. But many candidates for “most distant of all” are likely impostors.

The management of fear is a core leadership skill in today’s globalized world — and the task is not as daunting as you might expect.

Scientists put the most mysterious force in the Universe to the ultimate test. When it comes to the Universe, it’s easy to make the incorrect assumption that what we see is […]

The secret may lie in an old idiom: “Sleep on it.”

Centuries ago, the typical British coffeehouse was more like a “school without a master” than a place to grab a quick boost of caffeine.

There’s a quantum limit to how precisely anything can be measured. By squeezing light, LIGO has now surpassed all previous limitations.

If dark energy gets stronger with time, our fate could be an utter catastrophe. When it comes to the entire Universe, one of the biggest existential questions we’re capable of […]

Not all stress is created equal.

The pattern 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc., is the Fibonacci sequence. It shows up all over nature. But what’s the full explanation behind it?

Nature is a whole. The sciences should be, too.

The spooky world of quantum mechanics might reach out and touch you — by mutating your DNA. Welcome to the weird world of quantum biology.

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

Only Caesar lived to tell the tale.

Equations that describe time travel are fully compatible and consistent with relativity — but physics is not mathematics.

When the Hubble Space Telescope first launched in 1990, there was so much we didn’t know. Here’s how far we’ve come.

“Superhabitable” planets might be real, but Earth is probably as good as it gets.

For years and over three separate experiments, “lepton universality” appeared to violate the Standard Model. LHCb at last proved otherwise.

More than two years after JWST began science operations, our Universe now looks very different. Here are its biggest science contributions.

The technology is not a replacement for human labor — it’s a way to complement existing human tasks.

Jim Lee, President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics, tells us how his childhood obsession with Superman changed his life.

Here’s how it works.
