No major Democractic candidate has a presence on the wildly popular social video platform. That’s a big missed opportunity.

Serial entrepreneur Bill Gross has launched a new solar thermal venture, designed to cut climate emissions from industrial heat.

The first study of the way logs become pinned in rivers reveals that those seemingly trapped in a logjam move steadily, if slowly, downriver.

In this excerpt from her book Handprints on Hubble: An Astronaut’s Story of Invention, the first American woman to walk in space tells what it was like to be part of the team that designed and launched the space telescope.

These strange new sounds underscore the complexities at play when solar storm events head for Earth.

An MIT analysis finds that steady declines in battery costs will stall in the next few years.

Goldman Sachs defended itself in the Apple Card scandal by saying it did not consider gender when calculating creditworthiness. If it did, that could actually mitigate the problem.

A sophisticated new electronic warfare system is being used at the world’s busiest port. But is it sand thieves or the Chinese state behind it?

Two new studies raise the possibility that the next Mars mission will find fossils of organic life or preserved biosignatures at Jezero crater.

Our 2020 contest for the 35 Innovators Under 35 is now open for nominations.

Human settlements are the cause and consequence of most environmental and societal changes on Earth. The World Settlement Footprint pinpoints them with unprecedented accuracy.

Feynman diagrams revolutionized particle physics. Now mathematicians want to do the same for vector calculus.

A fog of micro-debris poses major risks to satellites and spaceships—and this test suggests there is a lot more of it than anyone had thought

An updated analysis from OpenAI shows how dramatically the need for computational resources has increased to reach each new AI breakthrough.

Physicists have watched a chain of 15 amino acids interfere with itself, in an experiment that paves the way for a new era of quantum biology.
