Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.
A more distant galaxy liked the lens so much that it went and put a ring on it. Here's the science behind this remarkable cosmic object.
A "stakehodler" has both a voice and a vote, an economic interest in how each network stewards important global resources.
This measurement is crucial to confirm that one of the assumptions of Einstein’s theory of gravity is valid.
Generative AI — driven by large language models — has the potential to destroy or supercharge most businesses. Now is the time to pivot.
The hot Big Bang was an energetic, brilliantly luminous event. Today's Universe is alight with stars. But in between, the dark ages ruled.
Will you die when your body dies?
An enormous amount of antimatter is coming from our galactic center. But the culprit probably isn't dark matter, but merely neutron stars.
Finding a tiny planet around bright stars dozens or hundreds of light-years from Earth is extremely difficult.
Named "Supernova H0pe," it shows how JWST plus gravitational lensing can be used to solve the greatest puzzle facing astronomy today.
Is it like a tiny ball — or what?
To put things in perspective, the cost of sequencing a single genome in 2012 was around $10,000.
An annular eclipse is coming to Earth on October 14, 2023. Six months later, a total solar eclipse is headed our way. Here's the reason why.
How does star-formation, occurring in small regions within galaxies, affect the entire host galaxy that contains it? JWST holds the answers.
There are hints that it could lead to new treatments for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other brain disorders.
CRISPR, stem cells, and even cancer drugs are helping shape an AIDS-free future.
Though over three billion people speak an Indo-European language, researchers are not sure where the language family originated.
Technology goes in directions we can never predict — so we must be prepared to limit the spread of unintended consequences.
It is easy to mock Nobel Laureates who go astray, but eccentricity often accompanies brilliance. We should have some sympathy.
