Your spidey-sense is tingling—and it has been for thousands of years. It's called intuition, the innate power of the mind that has baffled scientists and philosophers alike for millennia. Some of the world's most successful visionaries credit the quiet superpower with their world-changing ideas. But how do you define something undefinable? What really is this mysterious force? Can it actually be s...

Could a massive solar flare send us back to the Stone Age? Movies and social media posts often suggest that if a solar flare powerful enough snuck up on us, it could mean the end of the world. Are the concerns justified? Or is it all just artistic liberty? What could actually happen to our technology during a massive solar storm? Could a "superflare" really be in our future? And why—for the past t...

There's a lot more going on inside that flowerpot on your windowsill than meets the eye. Some of our most beloved books, movies, and storytelling bring trees to life—literally. Flowers that talk, trees that are sentient, and plants that see. They have communities, know who their friends and families are, and aren't shy about making sure characters like Alice (in Wonderland) and Dorothy in Oz know...

Could science create life from the other side of the mirror? If the evil twin in the mirror scene sounds like it's straight out of a horror movie, that's because it is. And one day, the reflection you see in the mirror might not be you at all. It's on the cutting edge of science, and it's called Mirror Life. What is it? Is mirror life the next scientific marvel? Or is it truly the existential thre...

Could humanity's next home—Earth 2.0—be hiding out there somewhere in space? Some of the world's most powerful telescopes are on the hunt. They're searching for an escape hatch in case one day life doesn't go so well here on Earth and we need a way out. But among thousands of exoplanets found in the past few decades, they're looking for a Goldilocks planet. What would another planet really need to...

Should you really "trust your gut"? Biology will tell you the brain and gut are deeply connected. But what if gut feelings were more than just nerves? New research says they could be a sixth sense—one that might be warning you about taking the wrong path or even bigger dangers, through memories that haven't happened yet. Sounds crazy—but science might just be able to prove it. And it has everythin...

Are you afraid of the dark? It's a question most of us leave behind when we grow up, or at least, we say we do. Despite holding onto our nightlights more than we may care to admit, something curious happens to the human body when all the lights go out. In the deepest reaches of isolation, can the brain reject even the most profound darkness—and become its own light? Do the human body and brain rea...

The most supermassive monsters in space: black holes. Swirling vortexes that nothing—not even light—can hope to escape from if it strays just a little too close. And if that wasn't enough, they're completely invisible. They're some of the most bizarre objects in our universe—a favorite source of fascination among astronomers and space enthusiasts alike. Is it because we still understand so little...

An interstellar invader has arrived in our solar system—again. But if you thought 1I/Oumuamua was strange, this one is on a new level. This summer, a NASA survey telescope caught our first-ever glimpse of an object that defies explanation, one that had quietly snuck into our celestial backyard, unseen. Since then, astronomers, news headlines, and people around the world have all been asking one qu...

Loneliness—in the middle of a crowd, or in a room full of friends. Is it all in your head? And what happens when it doesn't go away? People say we forgot how to talk to each other during the COVID era—but is that all there is to it? What happened to make it so bad that health authorities now call it an epidemic? What's really happening in the brain? Is the secret hidden in our genetic code? Do som...

The extraordinary human brain. The silent driver keeping our bodies running, and the reason we can think, feel, and remember. But when the brain gets tired and illness sets in—we lose ourselves. That is, until the final moment, when it all comes flooding back: memories, life force, and for some, supernatural experiences. Terminal lucidity, or the end-of-life surge—it's the medical anomaly that's b...

Autumn has arrived—and so have days filled with fall foliage, family feasts, a crisp chill in the air, and pumpkins galore. The numbers say it's the favorite time of year for most Americans, and many others around the world. But aside from the warmth of Thanksgiving and the nostalgia of going back to school, fall is also tied to things that aren't warm or comforting at all. Works of art and cultur...

When was the last time you saw a firefly? For many of us, thousands of dazzling lights set the warm summer nights of our childhoods ablaze. But in recent years, the almost magical flickering has dimmed and virtually disappeared—and hardly anyone has noticed. What really happened to the lightning bugs? What makes us remember to look for them? Why does almost every culture in the world have legends...

Science says no matter how good medicine becomes, the human body has a hard age limit: somewhere between 120 and 150 years. But for a select few, even that may not be enough. Two world leaders recently got caught talking about immortality, and now discussions about biohacking are making headlines. What's really happening inside secret military labs created to lengthen the lives of the ultra-elite?...

Is the world ready for the return of the dinosaurs? Biotech companies are celebrating milestones in de-extinction projects, and cutting-edge tools like gene editing are opening up possibilities that, not so long ago, were beyond our wildest dreams. The Jurassic Park movies have been stoking imagination, adrenaline, and adventure for 30 years—and this summer, dinosaurs returned to the silver screen...

A giant planet could be lurking in the outer reaches of our solar system, hiding in the shadows just out of view of our telescopes. But maybe not for much longer. It's a mystery that has captivated star watchers for nearly 125 years. The famed Planet X—or Planet 9—depending on who you ask. Generations have searched for it, intrigued by peculiar planetary orbits in deep space that shouldn't be happ...

There are some seriously weird things happening in space right now, and astronomers have no idea why. Celestial objects sending out beams of mismatched radiation, zombie stars rotating post-mortem, celestial lighthouse beacons sending out signals, explosions powerful enough to rival the dawn of the cosmos, and a "space roar" resonating from the earliest parts of our universe. Where is all that ene...

What if humanoid robots were 3,000 years old? Today's bots can breakdance, take out the trash, sort Amazon packages, run marathons, and soon will explore the surface of Mars. They're designed to make life easier—do things we can't, or don't want to do. Stories from thousands of years ago describe picture-perfect descriptions of today's latest and greatest tech, from ancient China, to India, Greece...

People love AI chatbots. But more movies, games, and books than ever say the opposite: "Danger, Will Robinson!" The sci-fi boom ripped through movies, games, and books back in the 1930s—the same time AI development kicked off. But when box office numbers plummeted in the pandemic era, stories warning about AI takeovers didn't slow down. Does AI-gone-rogue just make for great script writing? Or are...

"I was just thinking about you!" It's more than just coincidence—it's called synchronicity, and there's a world of neuroscience, mystical tradition, and secret research behind it. Think about your best friend, that one family member that just "gets you," or the crush that sees you the way no one else has before. What if "being on the same wavelength" was something more? How much do waves actually...

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is deploying a robust campaign to manipulate American society, media, and government, trying to turn U.S. institutions against CCP critics and even fellow Americans. For decades, the CCP has systematically infiltrated our political systems, businesses, and institutions to subvert America from within. The CCP's alarming new tactics focus on the manipulation of Amer...

President Donald Trump is in Texas, surveying the damage from last week's deadly flooding. Officials say the flood and resulting tragedies are unprecedented. As the Senate grapples with the nearly $10 billion in spending cuts, some from rural districts are pushing to save PBS and NPR. We dive in with Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah). It's been a big week for tariffs from the Trump administration. Canad...

Could a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping be on the horizon? Secretary of State Marco Rubio says it's a "high probability." It follows Rubio's meeting with China's top diplomat—details on that, coming up. The Trump administration is working to ban ownership of U.S. farmland by Chinese nationals. But that's just one piece of the bigger picture when it comes to keep...

Newly released audio from last year has President Trump saying he would bomb Russia if it invaded Ukraine. He gave a similar warning to China over Taiwan. President Trump: "With Putin I said, 'If you go into Ukraine, I'm going to bomb the s*** out of Moscow. I'm telling you I have no choice.' So he goes like, 'I don't believe you.'" A prominent lawmaker is calling on several American universities...
