By improving quantum error correction, quantum computations are now faster than ever. But parallel universes? That's utter nonsense here.

Sixty years ago, the Soviet Union was way ahead of the USA in the space race. Then one critical event changed everything.

If atoms are mostly empty space, then why can't two objects made of atoms simply pass through each other? Quantum physics explains why.

From a hot, dense, uniform state in its earliest moments, our entire known Universe arose. These unavoidable steps made it all possible.

It was barely a century ago that we thought the Milky Way encompassed the entirety of the Universe. Now? We're not even a special galaxy.

Even with just a momentary view of our galaxy right now, the data we collect enables us to reconstruct so much of our past history.

50 years ago, Stephen Hawking showed that black holes emit radiation and eventually decay away. That fate may now apply to everything.

The closest known star that will soon undergo a core-collapse supernova is Betelgeuse, just 640 light-years away. Here's what we'll ...

We have very specific predictions for how particles ought to decay. When we look at B-mesons all together, something vital doesn't add up.

Most waves need a medium to travel through. But the way that light and gravitational waves travel show that space can't be a medium at all.
