Expand your universe with astrophysicist, professor and New York Times best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. In this thought-provoking talk, he’ll discuss the anatomy of science and the scientific process. What exactly is science? How does it work? And why is it so effective at explaining the confusing world around us? Learn how science can help humanity answer our most pressing questions — and why the future of our species depends on it.

NJPAC’s Conversations Series is graciously supported by the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.

We’re not saying we’re at the brink of a The Last of Us scenario, but yep, it turns out mushrooms talk to each other.

After discussing the quirks in 3D modeling software, where a laser beam is treated as a solid object that can cast a shadow, scientists decided to experiment in real life — and found that laser beams can indeed cast a shadow under the right conditions.

“” The shift to level 2 took time, but it accelerates the development of level 3. This will enable impactful agent-based experiences that will greatly impact technology advancements in technology “

Study finds that gravity, which involves the warping of space-time, affects all objects, even light photons, whether they have any mass or not.

Could the apps be separated?

Syed Ayaz, a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has published a paper in Scientific Reports that builds on an earlier first-of-its-kind study that examined kinetic Alfvén waves (KAW) as a possible explanation for why the solar corona, the outermost layer of the sun’s atmosphere, is approximately 200 times hotter than the surface of the sun itself.

Water, a molecule essential for life, has unusual properties—known as anomalies—that define its behavior. However, there are still many enigmas about the molecular mechanisms that would explain the anomalies that make the water molecule unique. Deciphering and reproducing this particular behavior of water in different temperature ranges is still a major challenge for the scientific community.
