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.
Red dwarf stars were supposed to be inhospitable. But TOI-700, now with at least two potentially habitable worlds, is quite the exception.
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.
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 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.
Yes, dark energy is real. Yes, distant galaxies recede faster and faster as time goes on. But the expansion rate isn't accelerating at all.
Concluding that Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest was caused by the COVID vaccine requires accepting highly improbable leaps of logic.
In 1920, astronomers debated the nature of the Universe. The results were meaningless until years later, when the key evidence arrived.
2023 will see an "arms race" in mixed reality hardware and software. This truly will revolutionize our society.
