Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.
Over time, the Universe becomes less dominated by dark matter and more dominated by dark energy. Is one transforming into the other?
An effect called the "urban heat island" means that temperatures are often 10 degrees higher in cities, according to NASA.
The Hyperloop is physically possible, but engineering challenges will make its construction very difficult. Also, accidents would be catastrophic.
The hyperloop would be a great idea for a completely flat planet. With topography and infrastructure, it's a very different story.
"The pulsar sort of consumes the thing that recycled it, just as the spider eats its mate.”
Your old-fashioned chronological age is just a number. Your biological age can tell you how healthy you really are.
13.8 billion years ago, the hot Big Bang gave rise to the Universe we know. Here's why the reverse, a Big Crunch, isn't how it will end.
The answer may lie in the particular way sand forms on Titan.
Now they're pointing the way to future battery technologies.
Atomic clocks keep time accurately to within 1 second every 33 billion years. Nuclear clocks could blow them all away.
But does Amazon know when you're tired or hungry?
What you need to know about this smallpox cousin.
Will nature or nurture win out?
In all of human history, only 5 spacecraft have had the right trajectory to exit the Solar System. Will they ever catch Voyager 1?
Data from the Zhurong rover suggests the Red Planet was wet more recently than we thought.
The site will be the first working example of a geological disposal facility.
Crystallization is an entirely random process, so scientists have developed clever ways to investigate it at a molecular level.
The high pitches from the flute and the harp would reach your ears before the notes from the tuba and the cello.
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football…
