“Superstar” firms have been lowering labor’s share of GDP in recent decades, a new study finds.
For decades, one of the Big Bang’s greatest predictions was shrouded in doubt. The answer was always there on Channel 3. When it comes to the question of how our Universe […]
You might think that we live in a three dimensional Universe based on space alone. But you cannot leave time out of it. If you were asked to describe how you […]
What can 3D printing do for medicine? The “sky is the limit,” says Northwell Health researcher Dr. Todd Goldstein.
A recent headline claimed they could. But if gamma-rays are just a form of light, don’t they have to travel at light-speed? There’s an ultimate speed limit in the Universe: […]
There’s real, straightforward science behind the destruction of an Alderaan-sized planet. In all of science fiction, perhaps the most iconic moment of destruction occurs in 1977’s Star Wars: A New […]
Isogloss cartography shows diversity, richness, and humour of the French language
Particle physics is everywhere, even in the palm of your hand. When you hold out your palm and point it towards the sky, what is it that’s interacting with your hand? […]
If they saw us as we were before the recent industrial revolution, would there be any reason to particularly care about us? All across the Universe, trillions of galaxies can be […]
“I used to mountain climb… If I can’t walk anymore, I’ll crawl.”
When people learn the Universe is expanding, they want to know where the center is. The ‘answer’ isn’t what they expect. There are two things that people learn about the Universe […]
Audio recordings reveal cows have unique voices and share emotions with each other.
Hawking radiation should really be happening, but black holes are farther from decaying than ever before. Black holes are, in many ways, the most extreme objects that will ever exist in […]
No one has seen an equinox this early since the 19th century. And you’d better get used to it. This year, on March 19, 2020, the equinox will occur. For a […]
New research shows how Americans feel about genetic engineering, human enhancement and automation.
What if patience, and maybe other personality features too, are more a product of where we are than who we are?
It’s the largest, most massive planet in the Solar System. But what’s the real story behind all the impacts on Jupiter? One of the most terrifying prospects here on Earth is […]
Preventable deaths for all five leading mortality causes are “consistently higher” in rural communities.
Was the hamburger menu always so ubiquitous?
Insomnia is the product of mental or emotional pressure.
The Mars 2020 rover is set to launch in July of the same year, setting the stage for years and years of science on the Red Planet.
Not everything needs a medium to travel through. If we can overcome that assumption, we don’t need the aether at all. All throughout the Universe, different types of signals propagate. Some […]
Astrophysics has probed a test of a fundamental law, ‘Lorentz invariance,’ well beyond the LHC’s limits. Einstein is still right. The greatest scientific legacy that Albert Einstein left us is this: […]
A question that’s baffled physicists for nine years has been resolved by the simplest possible answer.
Focusing on the present moment has some strange effects on how people estimate stretches of time.
Even extremely simple configurations in General Relativity cannot be solved exactly. Here’s the science of why. It’s difficult to appreciate how revolutionary of a transformation it is to consider the Universe […]
It’s much more complex a question than dividing its mass by the volume of the event horizon. If you want to get a meaningful answer, you have to go deep. If […]
With the realization that overdue charges disproportionately affect access for low-income readers, libraries are reconsidering the value of fees.
