Do humans have souls, or are we just particles? Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder explains.
Here on Earth, the Sun is our primary source of light, heat, and energy. But it also poses a grave threat to human civilization.
Tumor cells traverse many different types of fluids as they travel through the body.
On Earth, microbial growth is common in lava tubes no matter the location and climate, whether it’s ice-volcano interactions in Iceland or hot, sand-floored lava tubes in Saudi Arabia.
Human beings are tiny creatures compared to the 92 billion light-year wide observable Universe. How can we comprehend such large scales?
More work is needed before declaring the technique a fountain of youth.
It's a radical but plausible idea.
From synthetic biology to xenotransplantation, biotech will continue to march forward in 2023, in part powered by data and AI.
JWST just found its first transiting exoplanet, and it's 99% the size of Earth. But with no atmosphere seen, perhaps air is truly rare.
An unexpected ancient manufacturing strategy may hold the key to designing concrete that lasts for millennia.
Quantum superposition challenges our notions of what is real.
You don’t have to “feel the burn” to see improvements to your health and well-being.
Red dwarf stars were supposed to be inhospitable. But TOI-700, now with at least two potentially habitable worlds, is quite the exception.
When maps meet stamps, you get a love child called "cartophilately."
Chronotherapeutic drug delivery aims to maximize treatment effectiveness and minimize side effects.
The difference between predictions and observations of the magnetic properties of muons suggests a mystery for the Standard Model.
JWST has seen more distant galaxies than any other observatory, ever. But many candidates for "most distant of all" are likely impostors.
Why would the Earth suddenly start vomiting forth huge quantities of mud?
Most of us have heard that the Sun is an ordinary, typical, unremarkable star. But science shows we're actually anything but average.
People with shingles have an approximately 80% higher risk of stroke than those without the disease.
The authors call it "wildly theoretical" — but let's take a look, anyway.
The new documentary “Make People Better” leans toward a different narrative about gene-editing than we've heard before.
"Jumping genes" exist in various forms, including as remnants of ancient retroviruses, and make up about 45% of the human genome.
Though a single measurement is not enough to definitively decide the debate, this is a major win for dark matter proponents.
If dogs are out in coats and boots, how are the squirrels feeling?
