How technology could change everything we thought we knew about reproduction.
entanglement across space
It's possible to remove all forms of matter, radiation, and curvature from space. When you do, dark energy still remains. Is this mandatory?

In the brain's language-processing centers, some cells respond to one word, while others respond to strings of words together.
A person stands in front of a large, circular particle detector in a brightly lit, high-tech facility.
CERN scientists achieved record-breaking accuracy in mapping the mass of a key particle in the Standard Model.

It's deceptively tricky to distinguish living systems from non-living systems. Physics may be key to solving the problem.
A close-up image showing a crack in the ground, revealing a narrow, dark crevice between layers of brown, sandy soil with hints of biocrusts forming along the edges.
Think twice before stepping on that crunchy top layer of soil.
A praying mantis, a marvel of evolution, is gracefully perched on a white orchid flower against a black background.
Some biologists believe natural selection produces animals that are just good enough. Dawkins disagrees.
