Automatic enrollment in Trump Accounts is now official. The president says they could weaken the appeal of socialism. It's been three years since the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel. What should we remember, and what does it mean for safety here at home? Candidates are taking the debate stage with 27 days until the midterms. What are both parties telling voters?

Transforming lead into gold: an ancient, alchemical quest that has remained the stuff of legend for centuries. That is, until today. Alchemists and philosophers built their legacies on the belief that it was possible. Now, particle physics has finally cracked the code, where ancient mysticism crosses over with nuclear physics. One of the world's most famous laboratories achieved the impossible, tr...

What do mythical horses, World War II, and one of the biggest existential questions out there—does time repeat itself—have in common? The Lunar New Year starts now. For people around the globe, that means mooncakes, fireworks, red envelopes, and family reunions. On top of myths and legends about a Great Race and 12 zodiac animals, there's another item on the list this year. An ancient prophecy war...

DNA and RNA are the building blocks of life—and a space probe just found the components to make them on an asteroid. Plus the same sugar your body (and your favorite candy) runs on. Back in 2021, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission scooped up a handful of space dust from a one-in-many-millions asteroid, brought it back home, and now—finally—the truth is in about compounds critical to all life on Earth ended...

Penguins have taken over social media—or at least, one penguin has. The Nihilist Penguin. In the era of TikTok and AI soup, a video from an almost 20-year-old documentary from 2007 is going viral. If you thought the "he's thinking about the Roman Empire" memes were crazy, you're in for a wild ride: from being called "a psychological case study in collective burnout" to highlighting existential que...

When you think of ancient metalworking—you're probably thinking: swords, armor, and coins. Probably not computers. But what if I told you the world's first computer is 2,000 years old, and survived two millennia at the bottom of the ocean? Over 100 years ago, we uncovered a piece of ancient technology so unique and ahead of its time that it could predict the precise, astronomical movement of our s...

The world's first computer is 2,000 years old, and survived two millennia at the bottom of the ocean. Back in the year 1901, an unsuspecting group of divers made the discovery of a lifetime: a treasure-trove shipwreck off the coast of a small Greek Island. It was soon discovered that the coins, art, and marble statues recovered had been condemned to rest on the sea floor for over 2,000 years. But...

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...
