Science & Tech
Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.
Invisible cloaks. Ghost imaging. Scientists are manipulating light in ways that were once only science fiction.
The concept of the warp drive is currently at odds with everything we know to be true about physics.
Scientists can make substantial progress without fully understanding exactly what they're doing.
The giant impact theory suggests our Moon was formed from proto-Earth getting a Mars-sized strike. An exoplanet system shows it's plausible.
Unless you're drinking a dozen diet sodas per day, you have nothing to worry about — and maybe not even then.
Philosophy is often seen as little more than armchair speculation. This is a shame, as philosophy often has helped science reach new heights.
Hybrid animals emerge when two different species from the same family reproduce. For many years, the kunga’s lineage was just another genetic mystery.
The $300,000 Model A is a true flying car — it can be driven on roads as well as flown in the air. And it's one step closer to your garage.
In numerous cultures worldwide, women were just as involved in bringing home the prehistoric bacon as their male counterparts.
It could lead to earlier diagnoses, better treatment, and fewer deaths from pancreatic cancer, which kills 88% of patients within five years.
The divers spend their waking hours either under hundreds of feet of water on the ocean floor or squeezed into an area the size of a restaurant booth.
What are supermassive black holes, how common are they, and how do they grow up throughout cosmic history? Listen and find out!
The separation of pleasure from procreation may occur throughout the cosmos, providing an explanation for the Fermi Paradox.
A Harvard astronomer went to the bottom of the ocean, claiming he recovered alien technology. But what does the science actually indicate?
As cells divide, they must copy all of their chromosomes once and only once, or chaos would ensue. How do they do it? Key controls happen well before replication even starts.
Research suggests there's truth to regional stereotypes in the U.S. — with some caveats.
The space telescope's findings challenge the notion of a galaxy brimming with life.
Some processes, like quantum tunneling, have been shown to occur instantaneously. But the ultimate cosmic speed limit remains unavoidable.
In the land of the double-blind, impartiality is king.
From the present day all the way to less than 400 million years after the Big Bang, we're seeing how the Universe grew up like never before.
