Computers are growing more powerful and more capable, but everything has limits
Imagine going on a tour through the human circulatory system as a tiny cell. That is just one example of education in the metaverse.
In general relativity, white holes are just as mathematically plausible as black holes. Black holes are real; what about white holes?
Slimy biofilms made up of bacterial and eukaryotic life forms have taken over an abandoned, flooded uranium mine in Germany.
Air currents in our atmosphere limit the resolving power of giant telescopes, but computers and artificial stars can sharpen the blur.
We are traveling in a realm that once exclusively belonged to the gods. Space travel will force humanity to rethink everything.
The initial goal of AI was to create machines that think like humans. But that is not what happened at all.
Many people out there, including scientists, claim to have discovered a series of game-changing revolutions. Here's why we don't buy it.
Smoke taint from wildfires is gross, even to wine amateurs.
Experiments tell us quantum entanglement defies space and time.
In a study involving mice, scientists used two different techniques — one optogenetic and one pharmacologic — to recover "lost" memories.
The Universe isn't as "clumpy" as we think it should be.
The Universe certainly formed stars, at one point, for the very first time. But we haven't found them yet. Here's what everyone should know.
To answer that question, we may have to figure out when the famed painter started to go bald.
A history of injustice and the greatest natural location for ground-based telescopes have long been at odds. Here's how the healing begins.
Far from practicing witchcraft, the experimentation of medieval alchemists helped bring about the Scientific Revolution.
Innovative thinking has done away with problems that long dogged the electric devices — and both scientists and environmentalists are excited about the possibilities.
Along with gravitational lensing and ALMA's incredible long-wavelength spectroscopy, JWST is reshaping our view of the early Universe.
One of Jetoptera's VTOLs is expected to reach speeds of around 614 mph, about as fast as a commercial jet airliner.
