Scientific surprises are often how science advances. But more often than not, they’re just bad science. When you’re a scientist, getting an unexpected result can be a double-edged sword. The best […]

How close are we to human teleportation? Successes in quantum teleportation experiments abound.
A European start-up uses satellite data to pinpoint individual sources of abnormal methane concentration.
Based on the atoms that they’re made out of, the innermost planet should always be the densest. Here’s why Earth beats Mercury, hands down.
It had long seemed impossible that supermassive black holes could grow to such enormous sizes. But the biggest problem is now solved.
Pandemics have historically given way to social revolution. What will the post-COVID revolution be?
A new agricultural revolution could forever change the planet.
Thankfully, there are ways to combat mental and physical fatigue, even in isolation.
Recent research estimates that the growth of emissions slowed down to 0.6 percent in 2019. However, this still means that humans released more CO2 into the atmosphere in 2019 than in any other year.
It’s been called the biggest conundrum in all of cosmology, and recent measurements just add to the confusion. One of the most puzzling facts about the Universe is that different […]
The inventor Nikola Tesla’s esoteric beliefs included unusual theories about the Egyptian pyramids.
Even with leap years and long-term planning, our calendar won’t be good forever. Here’s why, and how to fix it.
The racing plane is hoped to be the fastest electric plane in existence.
If galaxies are cities in the Universe, how unfortunate that our ‘cosmic country’ is dissolving. On the largest cosmic scales of all, planet Earth appears to be anything but special. […]
Part of the U.K.’s push for total wind energy.
Across the world, wildlife is under severe threat.
Ever want to smell like an astronaut? Now you can!
One image can give over 100 times the data we now get from Hubble. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, revealed the previously unseen Universe. The most distant galaxy ever […]
There’s a lot we can do with current technology to help stem the tide of climate change, but future technology may help even more.
There are a lot of unsolved mysteries in the Universe, but dark energy is the most confusing. Here’s why. The majority of the energy in our Universe went completely undiscovered until […]
Want some crazy space phenomena? You don’t have to leave the neighborhood for it.
Think there are habitable super-Earths out there? Think again. Here in our Solar System, we have two very distinct types of planets: small, terrestrial, rocky worlds, with thin (or no) atmospheres […]
Which is good, because if they do, they violate the cosmological principle. In theory, the Universe should be the same, on average, everywhere. A simulation of the large-scale structure of […]
“The results change the perception of who a Viking actually was,” said project leader Professor Eske Willerslev.
A new study rocks prevailing theories on antimatter in the early Universe.
Life forms on Earth are wildly varied, but scientists discover a single formula that predicts every one’s life cycle.
“It’s kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires,” Musk said.
New prototype Petri dishes let ordinary scientists in on the advanced technology.
Not everything needs a medium to travel through. If we can overcome that assumption, we don’t need the aether at all. All throughout the Universe, different types of signals propagate. Some […]
