I’m not saying it’s not aliens, but it’s not aliens. When it comes to life in the Universe, we still have no definitive answer to the biggest question of all, “are […]
Until about a decade ago, only two habitable zone planets of any size were known to astronomers: Earth and Mars.
The third in a three-part series on the history of research on the origin of life.
We still don’t know how it came to be this way. Every once in a while, we find an object in the Universe that completely mystifies us. For generations, astronomers have […]
It doesn’t matter where you’re from — music is an emotional powerhouse.
All protons have the same exact mass as every other proton. For particles like the Higgs boson, this isn’t true. One of the most puzzling aspects of quantum physics is how […]
If there’s no phosphine, there’s no indirect evidence for biological activity there. In one of the biggest surprises in the history of planetary science, a September 2020 study announced the presence […]
The second in a three-part series on the history of research on the origin of life.
Light cannot escape from a black hole, no matter what. But when two black holes merge? They just might. On September 14, 2015, history was made as the NSF’s twin LIGO […]
A new study reminds us that physical and emotional pain are not far apart.
The Earth is warming, and humans aren’t doing nearly enough to combat it. Could partially blocking the sunlight be the solution? It’s 2020, and not only is the Earth warmer […]
2019 offers an outstanding selection of books, accessories, and much more for the science-lover in your life! With each passing year, a whole slew of new scientific discoveries, refinements, and improvements […]
The bill would effectively legalize marijuana at the federal level, while allowing states to draft their own laws.
The impact of giving up is exactly the same as the impact of denying climate change.
The answer depends on how we choose to balance religious freedom, social inclusion, and the search for self-identity.
With the discovery of the Higgs boson, the Standard Model is now complete. Can we be sure there isn’t another generation of particles out there? The Universe, at a fundamental level, […]
A fully programmable quantum computer that can outperform any classical computer is right at the edge of today’s technology. Earlier this month, a new story leaked out: Google, one of […]
Prevention is always better than waiting .
A separate study shows that binge drinkers are also ordering more rounds.
From talking about Schrödinger’s cat to nuking the South Pole, this decades-old interview shows why Kaku was born to be a science educator.
Is that required for detectors like LIGO and Virgo to work? Whenever any two things in the Universe interact at the same location in spacetime, one thing always remains true about […]
Your opinions about a large number of complex scientific issues are probably wrong. That’s why we have science. In 2016, an Italian virologist named Roberto Burioni was invited to appear on […]
Is the “big freeze” our inevitable fate, or can dark energy save us? When we look out at the Universe today, we see sources of light practically everywhere we look. In […]
President Trump has called for Silicon Valley to develop digital precogs, but such systems raise efficacy concerns.
If fair treatment for all is something that’s important to you, here’s how you can help level an uneven playing field. In some ways, it’s true that life isn’t fair for […]
Some critics say the move is designed to shield those who profited from the dangerous drug.
It contains more water than all the Great Lakes combined, and the science of our planet explains why. Although practically all of Earth’s human population lives on dry land, our surface […]
