Explore the discoveries that reveal how the world works, alongside the technologies that extend, reshape, and sometimes challenge what’s possible.
We live in a four-dimensional Universe, where matter and energy curve the fabric of spacetime. But time sure is different from space!
The costs of such an endeavor would be extremely high, while the potential payoffs would be uncertain.
There's a speed limit to the Universe: the speed of light in a vacuum. Want to beat the speed of light? Try going through a medium!
Take a peek at the pre-release images used to calibrate and commission JWST's coldest instrument, now ready for full science operations.
A team of scientists hopes deep-earth lithium could sustain America's vast demand for batteries. But extracting it won't be easy.
The length of a day oscillates slightly every six years. This was a surprising discovery made last decade. We might now know why.
Scientists have found three new examples of a very exotic form of matter made of quarks. They can yield insights into the early Universe.
Myrkl (pronounced "miracle") is supposed to let you go wild without facing the consequences the next day. But does it actually work?
The psychology of alien contact largely revolves around the concept of "otherness." We need to learn to be comfortable around strange things.
Mammals have a history stretching back 325 million years. To study that ancient history is to know our own origins.
It started with a bang, but won't end with one. Instead, it will "rage against the dying of the light" like nothing you've ever imagined.
Like humans, stars die. The James Webb Space Telescope's early images already give us a lot of information about how this happens.
The fictitious 31st-century world portrayed by the series is actually quite a bit like our own in the 21st century.
Even with only 12.5 hours of exposure time, James Webb's first deep-field image taught us lessons we've never realized before.
Astronomy's roots rest in the very origins of humanity. We have always looked to the skies for answers. We are starting to get them.
