And, if we have one, how close are we to it? No matter which direction we look in, or how far away our telescopes and instruments are capable of seeing, the […]
Our minds seem both physical and intangible. That paradox has gripped this neuroscientist since childhood.
A deadly myth has been manufactured from poor methods and wishful thinking.
A recent advance in 3D imaging techniques helped spark the biggest ever discovery of North American cave art.
We know it couldn’t have began from a singularity. So how small could it have been at the absolute minimum?
Though he renounced philosophy, Stephen Hawking’s final theory of the universe redraws the basic foundations of cosmology.
Do the laws of physics place a hard limit on how far technology can advance, or can we re-write those laws?
The surface and atmosphere is colored by ferric oxides. Beneath a very thin layer, mere millimeters deep in places, it’s not red anymore.
Lynda Gratton, a professor of management practice at the London Business School, explains how business leaders can navigate a future in constant flux.
Life arose on Earth very early on. After a few billion years, here we are: intelligent and technologically advanced. Where’s everyone else?
Galactic archaeology has uncovered a spectacular find: the Milky Way already existed more than 13 billion years ago.
The same (former) NASA engineer who previously claimed to violate Newton’s laws is now claiming to have made a warp bubble. He didn’t.
A battle between different kinds of love.
Death is the great and terrifying unknown, awaiting us all at the end of this life. Giving it a personality makes it easier to gaze upon.
A great many cosmic puzzles still remain unsolved. By embracing a broad and varied approach, particle physics heads toward a bright future.
While one may be helpful, the other may be harmful.
The neutrino is the most ghostly, rarely-interacting particle in all the Standard Model. How well can we truly make “beams” out of them?
There are a wide variety of theoretical studies that call our Standard Model of cosmology into question. Here’s what they really mean.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact about the Universe is simply that it, and everything in it, exists. But what’s the reason why?
At four million solar masses, the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is quite small for a galaxy its size. Did we lose the original?
Making up false information is one of the biggest problems with AI, but there are no silver-bullet solutions.
In 1990, we only knew of the planets in our own Solar System. Today, the exoplanet count is more than 5000. Here’s what we’ve learned.
If the evolution of the Universe is a movie, what happens when we rewind it all the way backward?
Despite being the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury “only” reaches 800 °F at its hottest. Venus is always hotter, even at night.
In terms of the planets we’ve discovered, super-Earths are by far the most common. What does that mean for the Universe?
Some physicists are besot with the multiverse, but if we can’t detect these other universes, how seriously should we take them?
When you can’t enter flow, you can still lean on your internal rhythm.
All life forms, anywhere in our Universe, are chemically connected yet completely unique.
Venus Life Finder could launch as early as 2023.
