Progress in quantum computing as an industry has been relatively stagnant for a while now. But over the past few weeks, that’s changed. Mult...

String theory has changed the foundations of physics profoundly, and I for one am worried about its legacy.

Over the years, computer scientists have used cutting-edge processors to simulate the brains of increasingly more complex animals. They’ve ...

The Riemann Hypothesis is an open problem in maths which – if proved correct – would show us a pattern in prime numbers. The zeta function, ...

UFOs are now known as UAPs, which stands for “unidentified anomalous phenomena.” These phenomena are increasingly popping up in headlines as...

The search for life on another planet is one of the most exciting things in astrophysics. As humanity has searched the universe for signs of...

Recently, Finnish researchers made waves by announcing progress in the field of wireless energy transfer using a combination of sound waves,...

The Boltzmann brain hypothesis states that, between the Big Bang occurring and a fully-formed brain suddenly popping into existence in space...

The current status of academic publishing is miserable, and many people believe that the rise of AI will only make that worse. While they mi...

In this video I explain why I think it’s wrong to believe that the speed of light is an impossible to overcome limit. I am afraid that this ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole is changing rapidly. First, it’s moving around quickly (for a geological feature, at least). Second, it seems to...

I have been alerted that the energy industry will soon be revolutionized by new technology to extract energy from the vacuum. If that sound...

One of the most perplexing questions in the foundations of physics is how our shared sense of reality emerges out of quantum mechanics. This...

Friction affects almost everything around us. It makes cars drive, our muscles contract, and even helps us walk. But in terms of technology,...

What is space, really? That’s one of the biggest questions in science. According to a pair of researchers from the Perimeter Institute, the ...

There’s no doubt that AI is currently going through a boom cycle. Big tech firms are currently investing billions of dollars into the techno...

We’ve seen massive leaps in many different areas of tech over the past few years, and the next big revolution could be in data storage. In a...

Do we live in a computer simulation? So far this question has been pursued mostly by philosophers because it was just too vague to make scie...

Using our observations and predictions based off of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, physicists are pretty sure that there’s a super...

The first ever human spacecraft to land on the moon wasn’t Apollo 11 – it was the Soviet Luna 9 probe, which touched down three years before...
