LIGO just announced the second neutron star-neutron star merger ever seen in gravitational waves. It doesn’t match the first. On August 17, 2017, an event occurred that forever changed how we […]
From ultra-realistic graphics to more intelligent A.I. characters, the 2020s will bring some mind-bending video games.
Today, a quickly emerging set of technologies known as bioprinting is poised to push the boundaries further.
Maybe you’ve heard the term “self-actualization” bandied about at a party or by an inspirational speaker? Popularized by psychologist Abraham Maslow, the theory argues that we can realize our full […]

A new study shows that altering the ISS and TOR pathways in roundworms can extend lifespan by 500 percent.
Plate tectonics and mantle plumes set the lifespan of volcanic islands like Hawaii and the Galapagos.
In 2017, researchers believed they had found evidence for the elusive Majorana fermion. Now, a new study found that the exotic class of particles may still be confined to theory.
A decade ago, we didn’t know if dwarf galaxies had black holes. Today, half of the ones we see aren’t where we expected. Normally, galaxies have supermassive black holes millions […]
