The credibility problem facing the biomedical and public health establishment is, at least in part, a product of its own making.

A decade ago, scientists weren’t able to confidently connect any individual weather event to climate change, even though the warming trends were clear.

We think of physical reality as what objectively exists, independent of any observer. But relativity and quantum physics say otherwise.

Recasting the iconic Carrington Event as just one of many superstorms in Earth’s past, scientists reveal the potential for even more massive eruptions from the sun.

It does not matter if intelligent life exists elsewhere. We will never find each other.

Many workers moved home on the promise or hope that they’d be able to keep working remotely at least some of the time after the pandemic ended.

When facing a predator, single cells sometimes unite to defend themselves, paving the way for more complex multicellular life forms to evolve.

They say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. But thanks to these three pioneers in quantum entanglement, perhaps we do.

The 2021 Quality of Government Index shows how much trust the citizens of Europe place in each other and in their elected politicians.

Earth is the Solar System’s only known inhabited planet. Could Venus, if its phosphine signal is real, be our second world with life?

Is there actually anything deserving of the term AI?

Your brain is remarkably good at mapping out physical spaces — even if it’s an imaginary space like Hogwarts. But how does the brain do it?

Diogenes was no doubt odd, but Cynicism might just help our overcrowded lives.

Binary black holes eventually inspiral and merge. That’s why the OJ 287 system is destined for the most energetic event in history.

A theoretical physicist returns to Penrose and Hameroff’s theory of “quantum consciousness.”

The very concept of a “problem with no solution” goes against human nature. But we must accept this harsh reality to have peace in our lives.

Mathematically, it is a monster, but we can understand it in plain English.

And, at some point, did the Milky Way lose ours? There are some 400 billion objects flying through the Milky Way galaxy with enough mass that — if they were all made of […]

Infrared, visible, and ultraviolet combine to show us Jupiter’s features as never before. The largest planet in our Solar System, Jupiter, is our own ‘failed star.’ The best evidence-based classification scheme […]

There’s an extra source of massive “stuff” in our Universe beyond what gravitation and normal matter can explain. Could light be the answer?
