Space missions in 2022 will include massive rockets and asteroid collisions. This is also the year space tourism starts to hit its stride.
With advanced laser technology and an appropriate sail, we could accelerate objects to ~20% the speed of light. But would they survive?
New technology is helping physicists move forward in the search for the Theory of Everything.
After a night of partying and heavy drinking, you might be tempted to Google "hangover cures." Unfortunately, there aren't any.
Hybrid working, robot fast food workers, and the rapid acceleration of NFTs are just the beginning.
Known as primordial black holes, they could thoroughly change our Universe's history. But the evidence is strongly against them.
Historical geniuses used the "creative nap" to give their minds a boost. Apparently, the "hypnagogic state" can help with problem solving.
Water on Mars is key for human survival on the Red Planet, not just for drinking but for growing food and making fuel and oxygen.
The placebo effect is not the "power of positive thinking." The fact that it is getting stronger is not a good development.
Even with leap years and long-term planning, our calendar won't be good forever. Here's why, and how to fix it.
A new “common-sense” approach to computer vision enables artificial intelligence that interprets scenes more accurately than other systems do.

The photometric filters for the Vera Rubin Observatory are complete and showcase why they are indispensable for astronomy.
Steel tires may be better for the planet and could replace rubber.
The boiling new world, which zips around its star at ultraclose range, is among the lightest exoplanets found to date.
∆G = ∆H – T∆S is one of the most abstract formulas in science, but it is also one of the most important. Without it, life cannot exist.
Life arose on Earth very early on. After a few billion years, here we are: intelligent and technologically advanced. Where's everyone else?
Digital currencies are set to upend paper currencies, but it likely won't be the decentralized utopia some hope it will be.
