In Einstein's relativity and the Standard Model, we only have three spatial dimensions. But there could be more, and many think there are.
Capacitors, acid batteries, and other methods of storing electric charges all lose energy over time. These gravity-fed batteries won't.
In just a few seconds, a gamma-ray burst blasts out the same amount of energy that the Sun will radiate throughout its entire life.
Humanity's newest, most powerful space telescope is performing even better than predicted. The reason why is unprecedented.
Ancient bones reveal that domesticated felines were at home in Pre-Neolithic Poland around 8,000 years ago.
Millennials are reversing a 40-year decline in stroke deaths.
Once activated, the CRISPR-Cas12a2 system goes on a rampage, chopping up DNA and RNA indiscriminately, causing cell death.
Communication among cetaceans, like whales and dolphins, looks especially promising.
Cryo-electron tomography, or cryo-ET, is the future of cell research.
A conversation with an advanced alien species is likely to be simple and to take 1,000 years. It might also be dangerous.
If life is common in the Universe, then where is everybody? Known as the Fermi Paradox, a new project may help solve the riddle.
"Once quantum mechanics is applied to the entire cosmos, it uncovers a three-thousand-year-old idea."
The information we have in the Universe is finite and limited, but our curiosity and wonder is forever insatiable. And always will be.
Why can’t more rainwater be collected for the long, dry spring and summer when it’s needed?
The central equation of quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation, is different from the equations found in classical physics.
Researchers are looking at neurons required for touch-mediated pain relief.
The best-laid plans of mice and everyone else.
It isn't just identical particles that can be entangled, but even those with fundamentally different properties interfere with each other.
Don’t worry that your dog’s world is visually drab.
Carnivores, herbivores, omnivores — and now virivores.
In the early 20th century, a young biochemist named Alexander Oparin set out to connect “the world of the living” to “the world of the dead.”
Laser-guided lightning systems could someday offer much greater protection than lightning rods.
Researchers have been developing a promising model that can more closely mimic the human body – organ-on-a-chip.
Most globular clusters appear to form their stars all at once, but there are exceptions. JWST just observed how "second formations" happen.
The vaccine provided protection for mouse and ferret models.
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?
