Today, our observable Universe extends for 46 billion light-years in all directions. But early on in our history, things were much smaller.
If you want to understand what the Universe is, how it began, evolved, and will eventually end, astrophysics is the only way to go.
Over the past 50 years, 27 leap seconds have been added to our time.
From how life emerged on Earth to why we dream, these unanswered questions continue to perplex scientists.
It started with a bang, but won’t end with one. Instead, it will “rage against the dying of the light” like nothing you’ve ever imagined.
The existence of another watery world in the outer solar system may offer clues to how such seas form — and hope for another spot to search for life.
If you have an old TV set with the “rabbit ear” antennae, and you set it to channel 03, that snowy static can reveal the Big Bang itself.
Particle physicists use gigantic accelerators to investigate the infinitesimal.
If something exists, it is by definition natural.
The highest-energy particles could be a sign of new, unexpected physics. But the simplest, most mundane explanation is particularly iron-ic.
The pseudoscience phrenology swept the popular imagination, and its practitioners made a mint preying on prejudices, gullibility, and misinformation.
The lithium-ion alternatives could help create a safer, greener future.
The recently discovered Oort cloud comet, Bernardinelli–Bernstein, has the largest known nucleus: 119 km. Here’s what it could do to Earth.
We knew we’d find galaxies unlike any seen before in its first deep-field image. But the other images hold secrets even more profound.
Based on data since 2000 alone, global warming is still occurring at a whopping 7-sigma significance. How hot will planet Earth get?
Wind farms seem less productive when scientists incorporate more realistic atmospheric models into their output predictions.
In special relativity, the statement that two events happened at the same time is meaningless.
Engagement with generative AI is a business essential — but all companies should be vigilant.
From the explosions themselves to their unique and vibrant colors, the fireworks displays we adore require quantum physics.
Some ozone experts seriously doubt the findings.
Over 50 years since humans last walked on the Moon, astronaut footprints and rover tracks are still visible. But they won’t last forever.
Frontier, the ORNL supercomputer, used machine learning to perform 9.95 quintillion calculations per second.
Wealth concentration among elites was common in ancient nations, but the scale on which it took place in Egypt’s 18th Dynasty was unprecedented.
Whenever someone waxes poetic about terraforming alien worlds, it’s worth taking a moment to consider the ethical implications of the proposal.
The first tests of optical communications far from Earth will take place aboard the asteroid-bound Psyche spacecraft
An excerpt from renowned neuropsychologist Nicholas Humphrey’s book “Sentience: The Invention of Consciousness.”
Back during the hot Big Bang, it wasn’t just charged particles and photons that were created, but also neutrinos. Where are they now?
65 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth. Not only did Jupiter not stop it, but it probably caused the impact itself.
