An Oxford scientist claims a Nobel-Prize-winning conclusion is wrong.
There’s a boundary to how far back we can observe everything that exists. Despite everything we’ve learned about our Universe, there are many existential questions that remain unanswered. We don’t know […]
The images were published in the New England Journal of Medicine and show how prolific coronavirus can become in a mere four days.
A new study estimated the untapped potential of wind energy across Europe.
Two of our biggest science-fiction dreams might not remain fiction for much longer. Here’s how 21st-century science could make it real. For as long as human beings have looked up at […]
100+ years ago, General Relativity came along, and Einstein gave the Universe a cosmological constant. Here’s why that was a mistake. Back in the 17th century, Isaac Newton put forth the […]
In our Universe, a left hand reflected in a mirror or pond appears to be a right hand. While most of the laws of nature are symmetric under reflections, obeying […]
Many people, including some scientists, fear that the coming 5G WiFi revolution will harm humans. Here’s why that’s unfounded. Over the coming few years, a new set of infrastructure will […]
Metal really does sometimes stick to some people’s skin. Here’s the science of why. Every once in a while, a claim comes along that wildly challenges the mainstream scientific narrative. These […]
Some of them may have formed just 200 million years after the Big Bang. When we look out at the Universe, we’re not seeing objects as they are today, but rather […]
Can changing who delivers your electricity to you solve a slew of problems?
There are three answers depending on what you consider the “edge,” but only two of them are known. If you were to go as far out into space as you can […]
After 13.8 billion years, there’s still a whole lot that’s changing as time goes on. With each new year that comes upon us, there are a slew of new events awaiting […]

Researchers find what causes the glow coming from the densest objects in our universe.
Even extremely simple configurations in General Relativity cannot be solved exactly. Here’s the science of why. It’s difficult to appreciate how revolutionary of a transformation it is to consider the Universe […]
Carbon nanotubes embedded in leaves detect chemical signals that are produced when a plant is damaged.
The TRUTHS mission aims to collect extremely precise data on how much radiation Earth absorbs and reflects.
In 774/775, tree rings show a spike in carbon-14 unlike anything else. At last, scientists think they know why. Every once in a while, science gives us a mystery that comes […]
It’s true that we have a thermodynamic arrow of time, and entropy always increases. But that can’t explain what we perceive. One of the enormous conceptual ideas that came along […]
Will the small petrol state soon be solar powered?
Americans lose an estimated 321 million work days every year due to anxiety and depression.
Theoretically, we know what happened on the red planet. Here’s how we’ll find out whether we’re right. When it comes to the worlds beyond Earth in our Solar System, it’s only […]
It’s both accurate and slightly misleading to call the keto diet a “fad diet”. On the one hand, the keto diet has in recent years become a fad, taking over a […]
Zeno’s paradox stumped philosophers, mathematicians, and intellectuals for millennia. It took physics to finally solve it. The fastest human in the world, according to the Ancient Greek legend, was the heroine […]
