Do our norms around sex presentation uphold a constrictive gender regime? In a new article in Ethics, Ophelia Vedder writes that the abolition of hegemonic gender roles must involve the elimination of “compulsory sex-marking,” or the coercive social practice of…
We chat with “For All Mankind” creators Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolbert about season 5’s dramatic arc, scientific accuracy, and real-world parallels.
Artemis 2 is the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years, but the cameras onboard are surprisingly down-to-earth. Here’s how to get your hands on the gear that has brought us so many stunning shots of space.
Alzheimer’s isn’t just one problem—it’s a tangled mix of biology, aging, and overall health. That’s why drugs targeting a single factor have fallen short, even as new treatments show modest benefits. Scientists are now pushing toward multi-pronged strategies, from gene…
Earth shines above the lunar horizon in a new Artemis 2 photo.
A common eye-health nutrient, zeaxanthin, may also help the body fight cancer more effectively. Scientists discovered it strengthens T cells and enhances the impact of immunotherapy treatments. Found in everyday vegetables and supplements, it’s safe, accessible, and shows strong potential…
Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by atoms. These waves can subtly shift photon frequencies in different directions, leaving behind a detectable signature. The effect doesn’t change how…
A strange new kind of superconductivity has been uncovered in uranium ditelluride (UTe2), where electricity flows with zero resistance—but only under extremely strong magnetic fields that should normally destroy it. Even more surprising, the superconductivity disappears at first and then…
As local governments and service providers search for the most effective ways to support people experiencing homelessness, a new report from Portland State University centers on problem solving in the experience of those navigating homelessness.
Gravitational waves may have provided the first tantalizing evidence of tiny primordial black holes born during the Big Bang, which could account for dark matter.
