Exploring topics we know nothing about, with accompanying blogs and research.
Northwestern researchers grew a miniature human spinal cord, injured it, and healed it with 'dancing molecules' — the same therapy that reversed paralysis in mice.
Epstein-Barr virus infects 95% of adults and is now considered a necessary trigger for MS. A new UCSF study caught it red-handed — and a Moderna vaccine could potentially prevent MS within a generation.
95% of the universe is invisible. A Texas A&M team built a detector so sensitive it could catch a dark matter particle that interacts with normal matter once per decade.
Northwestern researchers grew a miniature human spinal cord, injured it, and healed it with 'dancing molecules' — the same therapy that reversed paralysis in mice.
A single molecular device performed five different jobs — memory, logic gate, analog processor, synapse, and selector — without changing its physical structure.
Researchers achieved the first real-time readout of Majorana qubits, and a Chinese team demonstrated unhackable quantum encryption over 100km.
A Cornell physicist calculated that the universe will stop expanding in 11 billion years and collapse into a Big Crunch. New dark energy data suggests we may be at cosmic halftime.
Barack Obama said aliens are 'real' on a podcast. Four days later, Trump ordered the Pentagon to release UFO files. We unpack the wildest week in disclosure history.
Columbia University's EMO robot taught itself to speak by observing its own reflection, achieving near-perfect lip sync across 10 languages. We explore the science, the mirror test connection, and what it means for the future of human-robot interaction.
