Nuclear energy might be the key to low-cost, zero-emission power systems
More instruments in our arsenal will be required to nail down the last 10% or 20% of decarbonization.
Dark energy: Neutron stars will inform us whether it's a mirage
With Einstein’s hypothesis, a massive quantity of enigmatic dark energy is required to explain cosmic phenomena such as the rapid expansion of the Universe.
The Limits of AI are Demonstrated by Mathematical Paradoxes
Humans are typically quite adept at recognizing mistakes, but artificial intelligence systems are not.
The birth of planets in a binary star system has been witnessed
In unprecedented detail, astronomers have observed primordial material that may be giving birth to three planetary systems around a binary star.
A nearby star may help explain why our Sun hasn't seen sunspots in 70 years
The amount of sunspots on our Sun generally ebbs and flows in an 11-year cycle, but one extraordinary 70-year period when sunspots were very uncommon…
