For decades, the burden of hormonal contraception has fallen almost exclusively on women. While men have been limited to condoms or vasectomies, science is finally closing the gap with a new…

If you have ever felt like you are more sensitive to pain than the people around you, the answer might lie deep in your evolutionary history. Recent genetic research suggests that a specific variant…

For decades, engineers and historians have puzzled over a specific durability mystery. While modern concrete structures often crumble within a century, the Pantheon in Rome remains structurally sound…

The ritual of the annual flu shot is a familiar, if slightly annoying, part of modern healthcare. Every year, scientists predict which strains will be dominant, manufacturers rush to produce doses,…

The dream of unlimited, clean energy generated by mimicking the sun has hit another significant speed bump. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), arguably the most complex…

The history of human migration into the Americas has been rewritten. Recent scientific confirmation has solidified evidence that humans walked across what is now New Mexico roughly 23,000 years ago.…

For months, the most distant human-made object in existence stopped making sense. Voyager 1, currently sailing through interstellar space over 15 billion miles from Earth, began sending back a…
