Two new studies contradict each other. Under our current model, they can’t both be right.

Illuminating mathematics, physics, biology and computer science research through public service journalism.

Physicists recently addressed a persistent flaw in a test that defines reality.

The world’s greatest clockmaker sent a clock to the new world, and everything went haywire. The reason why will shock you.

Los Alamos engineers are working on a tiny, steel-encased core regulated by physics, not pumps.

Researchers from Indiana University and the California Institute of Technology say the new simulations could help us better understand major astrophysical phenomena, such as gravitational waves.

‘The strength of the neutron star crust, especially the bottom of the crust, is relevant to a large number of astrophysics problems, but isn’t well understood,’ says Matthew Caplan, a postdoctoral research fellow at McGill University.

Recently, we might often have heard of the term “technological singularity” with the hypothesis that accelerating progress in technological inventions will cause a runaway effect that will make ordinary humans someday be overtaken by artificial intelligence.

The term seems to be appeared very contemporary to this technology era but in fact, thought about singularity has a long philosophical history.
