Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.
What are we supposed to do when experts look at the same data yet reach starkly different conclusions?
More accurate uncertainty estimates could help users decide about how and when to use machine-learning models in the real world.
Today, the Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful particle physics experiment in history. What would a new, successor collider teach us?
The lithium-ion alternatives could help create a safer, greener future.
Dark matter's hallmark is that it gravitates, but shows no sign of interacting under any other force. Does that mean we'll never detect it?
A recent paper in the journal Physical Review Letters claims to prove that a "kugelblitz" is not possible.
Peaking on the night of August 11/12, up to 100 bright meteors per hour will be visible. Here's how to make the most of it.
Hindsight can cloud our predictive abilities but big data can de-mist forecasting — now AI is sharpening that focus.
The rise and fall of Josh Harris — the genius who anticipated the digital revolution just a little too soon.
"Business Adventures" by John Brooks was first published in 1969 and remains a must-read for all CEOs.
Earth, the only rocky planet with a large, massive satellite, is greatly affected by the Moon. Destroying it would cause 7 major changes.
Could exercise be more effective than recently approved drugs?
Straddling the bounds of science and religion, Newton wondered who set the planets in motion. Astrophysics reveals the answer.
In the 1970s, James Lovelock proposed that the biosphere was not just green scruff quivering on Earth's surface. Instead, it managed to take over the geospheres.

“The physics of the universe doesn't predict the emergence of biology.” Glasgow chemist Lee Cronin explains how inanimate matter becomes evolutionary:
How do normal matter and dark matter separate by so much when galaxy clusters collide? Astronomers find the surprising, unexpected answer.
“The brain is never the same from one moment to the next throughout life. Never ever.”
Such discoveries help researchers better understand the development of molecular complexity in space during star formation.
And, more importantly, what’s being done to get them online?
You will need determination, humility, and courage if you are to master anything.
