Cutting out processed foods doesn’t automatically make a diet healthier
Switching to less processed does not guarantee a healthy diet; the types of foods may be more important than their level of processing.
Dark matter could be lurking in Jupiter’s atmosphere
Astronomers propose that an infrared glow observed in Jupiter’s atmosphere may be dark matter particles colliding.
Combing through the science of split ends
Materials scientists are applying biomechanics to understand how split ends contribute to our bad hair days—and what can be done to fix them.
Riccardo Bassoli: How quantum computing will redefine wireless communication
Future 6G wireless networks will rely on quantum computers, but developing the technology and making it sustainable is complex.
Galactic winds from black holes found to influence the evolution of galaxies
Astronomers have discovered that black holes trigger the formation of galactic winds that greatly influence star formation.
Matter of science: Dialectics and the laws of nature
In this third and final article in a series on philosophy and science, we look at how modern science shows the validity of dialectical processes and how this can help guide science.
Astronomers witness the reawakening of a black hole
Imagine observing a distant galaxy for years when suddenly its core begins exhibiting unprecedented changes.
