Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.

3D-printing robots are being used to build a 100-home housing development in the US state of Texas.
planetary nebulae infrared spitzer
What kind of object will you form? What will its fate be? How long will a star live? Almost everything is determined by mass alone.
apple watch
The Apple Watch could soon take the pain out of monitoring blood sugar levels.
A low polygon model of the thinker
An innovation's value is found between the technophile’s promises and the Luddite’s doomsday scenarios.
Great Pyramid
A non-invasive method for looking inside structures is solving mysteries about the ancient pyramid.

New research shows psychedelics activate receptors inside brain cells that other compounds, like serotonin, cannot.
The soft robotic models are patient-specific and could help clinicians zero in on the best implant for an individual.
Scientists are still figuring out why tirzepatide causes weight loss. One theory is that they “accidentally” created a new hormone.
rcw 86 supernova remnant spitzer
If stars don't go supernova at first, they can get a second chance after becoming a white dwarf. But can their companions survive?

As improving biotech offers us longevity, we can prepare to live much better as we age.
Giuseppe Donatiello Venus Jupiter
In our Solar System, even the two brightest planets frequently align in our skies. But only rarely is it spectacularly visible from Earth.
Lonely humans will become infatuated with AI-fabricated personas.
All human development, from large cities to small towns, shines light into the night sky.
jellyfish
Deep underwater, temperatures are close to freezing and the pressure is 1,000 times higher than at sea level.
borexino
If you're a massless particle, you must always move at light speed. If you have mass, you must go slower. So why aren't any neutrinos slow?
In a state of "hyperwar," accidents or unexpected AI decisions could lead to widespread devastation before humans could intervene.
The body uses its own electricity to repair wounds. Faster healing may be possible with additional electrical stimulation.
