Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.
JWST has brought us more distant views of the early Universe than ever before. Is the Big Bang, and all of modern cosmology, in trouble?
Cosmologists are largely still in the dark about the forces that drive the Universe.
The curiosity of children is a national resource. Adults destroy it.
Without modularization, many epic projects simply would be impossible.
If you look into a mirror, you'll notice that left-and-right are reversed, but up-and-down is preserved. The reason isn't what you think.
What would become the Big Bang model started from a crucial idea: that the young Universe was denser and hotter.
Is Eliezer Yudkowsky the same false prophet that Paul Ehrlich was?
Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works engineering division has devised many jaw-dropping aircraft. Here are some of the best — and one ship.
Like Mars today, Venus used to be a sci-fi superstar. Recent discoveries could re-ignite our interest in Earth’s “evil twin.”
A recent study is the first to fabricate electronic components from endogenous molecules.
With infrared capabilities and image sharpness far beyond Hubble's limits, JWST looked at Hubble's deepest field, revealing so much more.
You are an energy field — but not the “chakras” or “auras” kind.
The content of our long-term memories is constantly "reconstructed" by our brains. The same is true of memories formed mere seconds ago.
An un-crewed sailing drone discovered the unusually shaped, slumbering seamount.

A University of Oxford professor explains how conscious machines are possible.
Our brainwaves naturally synchronize with external stimuli like flickering lights. Here's how the phenomenon might boost learning.
Though he renounced philosophy, Stephen Hawking's final theory of the universe redraws the basic foundations of cosmology.
The Universe is grand, awe-inspiring, and greater than we likely imagine. Even astrophysicists get anxious thinking about it, but we cope.
It may be time for a cosmological paradigm shift.
