Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.
If we are wreaking havoc on ourselves and the world, it is because we have become mesmerized by a mechanistic, reductionist way of thinking.
We've fooled ourselves before with galaxies that look just like this one. The evidence we have simply isn't strong enough.
A community in Austin, Texas is using geothermal energy to keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Not only that, but AI learns what type of faces we like.
One research group's AI-based drug discovery platform could be redesigned to discover VX nerve agent and 40,000 similar chemical weapons.
In the latest edition of the Starts With A Bang podcast, we talk with soon-to-be Dr. Arianna Long about galaxies, from birth to today.
The results of a recent study found that genetically engineering cats could be a solution to eliminating cat allergies.
An optical telescope with a massive 20-foot (6-meter) mirror has an eye-popping price tag of $11 billion.
Our Universe requires dark matter in order to make sense of things, astrophysically. Could massive photons do the trick?
Fermilab's TeVatron just released the best mass measurement of the W-boson, ever. Here's what doesn't add up.
Scientists have known blobs existed for a long time, but how they have behaved over Earth’s history has been an open question.
Small spiders use their silk threads to passively fly, a process called ballooning. Learning how could help atmospheric scientists.
Scientists across a range of disciplines have helped solve Darwin's dilemma.
The Hubble Space Telescope, 32 years after its launch, broke the all-time record for most distant star. It won't do better.
The light from Earendel took 12.9 billion years to reach Hubble. The star is millions of times brighter than our Sun and 50 times as massive.
Due to a crust of carbon, the absence of oxygen, and constant bombardment from meteorites, the planet Mercury may be littered with diamonds.
A radical redesign of commercial aircraft, called the flying-V plane, could increase fuel efficiency by 20%, greatly reducing emissions.
On Nov. 13, 1946, a scientist dropped crushed dry ice from a plane into supercooled stratus clouds.
