New research suggests that time may not be a fundamental element of the universe, but rather an illusion created by quantum entanglement. Time is a difficult problem for physicists; the inconsistent behavior of our best theories of the universe contributes to a stalemate that leaves researchers unable to find a “theory of everything,” or a … Read more
The rim and floor of Gale Crater, seen from NASA’s Curiosity Rover. Credit: NASA The question of whether life once existed on Mars has captivated the imaginations of scientists and the public for decades. Central to the discovery is understanding the past climate of Earth’s neighbor: Was the planet warm and wet, with seas and … Read more
Proposed scenario for diamond formation at the core-mantle boundary of Mercury. (a) Crystallization of the carbon-saturated silicate magma ocean and the potential, but unlikely, early production of diamond at its base. Graphite was the major phase formed in the magma ocean and accumulated at the surface to form an ancient graphitic crust. (b) During crystallization … Read more
Need a way to feel sleepy ASAP? Apparently, you can just pretend you’ve had a few too many margaritas.

Earth may be swimming in an ocean of dark matter, according to new theoretical research. Waves in that invisible ocean, lapping against our planet’s upper atmosphere, may generate detectable radio waves that could finally help us find this elusive part of the universe. A wealth of astrophysical and cosmological evidence points to the existence of … Read more
WASHINGTON — While NASA is pushing ahead with a crewed moon landing during the Artemis 3 mission in September 2026, the agency’s own analysis estimates there is a nearly one-in-three chance that the lander will be at least a year and a half late. That review grew out of a confirmation review for the Human … Read more
A new study has uncovered a key factor behind the disparate outcomes seen in children with autism. Researchers from the University of California San Diego found that differences in the biological development of the brain during the first weeks and months of embryonic growth play a significant role in the severity of autism symptoms later … Read more
