The new record-holder opens up a literal Universe full of possibilities. Someday, even our own Sun will eventually run out of hydrogen fuel in its core, bringing a tremendous set […]
A single lifetime is more than enough to take you to the limits of the Universe. Right now, there are only three things limiting how far our spacecrafts can take […]
Life is possible because of asymmetries, such as an imbalance between matter and antimatter and the “handedness” (chirality) of molecules.
When you measure not just light, but light’s polarization, you learn so much more. It’s been over 100 years since the first solution for a black hole was discovered in General […]
Since its observation discovery in the 1990s, dark energy has been one of science’s biggest mysteries. Could black holes be the cause?
Often called modern-day dinosaurs, cassowaries are one of only a few birds known to have killed humans.
There’s still hope for implicit bias training, research shows.
The mismatch between theory and experiment is anything but certain. The most exciting moments in a scientist’s life occur when you get a result that defies your expectations. Whether you’re a […]
The ANITA experiment found cosmic rays shooting out of Antarctica. One interpretation claims “parallel Universes,” but is that right?
After more than two decades of precision measurements, we’ve now reached the “gold standard” for how the pieces don’t fit.
The contact binary system KIC 9832227 is worth another look. Astronomers have seen some incredible occurrences across space and time. The nova of the star GK Persei, shown here in an […]
Many contrarians dispute that cosmic inflation occurred. The evidence says otherwise.
Both views are equally spectacular, but unequally informative. Every so often, a creative amateur project highlights our professional achievements. This mosaic shows the region between the constellations of Cygnus and […]
Which is good, because if they do, they violate the cosmological principle. In theory, the Universe should be the same, on average, everywhere. A simulation of the large-scale structure of […]
Successful constructive criticism is as much about mindset as methods.
It’s 92 billion light-years wide after just 13.8 billion years. And that’s just fine. If there’s one rule that people know about how fast things can move, it’s that there’s a […]
The inside of every black hole leads to the birth of a new Universe. Could our Universe have arisen from one?
Solving the supply chain crisis before the global economy tanks is going to require many creative approaches. Flexport’s Ryan Petersen has one that just might work.
Yet, if they only obey the rules that we know, there’s no way to explain why. One of the greatest puzzles in all of physics is that the laws of nature — as […]
Time always moves in the same direction, but what if the Universe were contracting? As we step forward in time, a number of things always seem to happen together. Objects […]
The father of relativity understood that “not everything that counts can be counted” — as do today’s most impactful leaders.
New chip eliminates the need for specific decoding hardware, boosting gaming systems, 5G networks, and more.
Society-changing ideas form through a three-stage process, argues author Michael Bhaskar.
In terms of the planets we’ve discovered, super-Earths are by far the most common. What does that mean for the Universe?
The prize went to three researchers who revolutionized the social sciences by taking advantage of natural experiments.
Cryptocurrency “news” is dominated by enthusiasts and haters. Surely, an intellectual discussion can be had.
China’s dominance of the rare earth metal industry is part of its overall geopolitical strategy.
If dark matter exists in a large halo in our galaxy, made up of particles, then it’s passing through us constantly. But how much?
Thou shalt not conclude “aliens” from insufficient data. When it comes to what’s out there in this Universe, perhaps the only thing that’s greater than our cosmic ignorance is the […]
