Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Star clusters are of great importance in any galaxy: they are the birthplace of new stars, often containing massive stars of ...

The mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may be seeding the worlds of this solar system with the early stages of life, new ...

The ocean is saturated with microplastics. While we know the location of the great garbage patches, where plastic particles ...

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely ...

The Dark Forest theory is one proposed solution to the famed Fermi Paradox, which has bewitched astronomers for more than half a century. To put it concisely, the paradox asks if the cosmos is nearly ...
