There are billions of planets in the Universe that, theoretically, can support life. But so […]

Deepfakes are spreading fast, and while some have playful intentions, others can cause serious harm. We stepped inside this deceptive new world to see what experts are doing to catch this altered content.

Nearly 90% of all life on Earth is unaccounted for, but how close are we to discovering all life on Earth before it disappears?

Our universe started with the big bang. But only for the right definition of “our universe”. And of “started” for that matter. In fact, probably the Big Bang is nothing like what you were taught. A hundred years ago we discovered the beginning of the universe. Observations of the retreating galaxies by Edwin Hubble and […]

Bridges built over water are marvels of engineering no matter how shallow or deep the water may be. But how exactly are these bridges built, particularly over deep water? It turns out there are three main techniques for the construction of such bridges and they are battered piles, cofferdams, and caissons. #Engineering#Bridges#Architecture

Our dependence on plastic is so extreme that we have microplastics not only floating through the ocean, but also in the atmosphere, in our food, and in our bodies. So how close are we to reinventing plastic?

Humanity’s future is glorious. As we master space travel, we’ll hop from one lifeless world to the next. Life will blossom in our path and the galaxy with shimmer with beautiful Earth-like orbs. Hmmm… maybe. This won’t sound so far fetched if we prove we can do it at least once. If we successfully terraform […]

Research suggests that nearly every star has at least one planet, but we haven’t found any other solar systems that look quite like ours.
