The ominous cloud of acid rain hasn't vanished but rather drifted toward the developing world.
A basement renovation project led to the archaeological discovery of a lifetime: the Derinkuyu Underground City, which housed 20,000 people.
As wind power grows around the world, so does the threat the turbines pose to wildlife. From simple fixes to high-tech solutions, new approaches can help.
Wolfgang Pauli was a brilliant, well-liked physicist and a scathing critic of balderdash.
Even after the first stars form, those overdense regions gravitationally attract matter and also merge. Here's how they grow into galaxies.
Teller and Sagan debated fiercely over nuclear proliferation. But was the conflict as personal as it was intellectual for Teller?
When battles raged in ancient cities, their rocks blazed so brightly that they could be reoriented according to Earth's magnetic field.
Frontier, the ORNL supercomputer, used machine learning to perform 9.95 quintillion calculations per second.
The first stars took tens or even hundreds of millions of years to form, and then died in the cosmic blink of an eye. Here's how.
These hard-to-finish books are still worth the effort.
From how life emerged on Earth to why we dream, these unanswered questions continue to perplex scientists.

Thanks to observations of gravitational waves, scientists were able to settle a longstanding debate over the speed of gravity.
Misinformation was extremely popular in 2023, as bad science often made global headlines. Learn the truth behind these 10 dubious stories.
The problem with today’s AI isn’t it thinking for itself; it’s the tech telling humans whatever we want to hear.
The bots started as windpipe cells, yet they helped nerve cells repair and grow.
These theoretical megastructures represent one way an advanced civilization might harvest energy from stars.
In our Universe, matter is made of particles, while antimatter is made of antiparticles. But sometimes, the physical lines get real blurry.
With great power comes retcon responsibility.
