At CERN, physicists are searching for answers to some of the biggest questions ever — like how the universe started and where everything comes from. To get one step closer to an answer, CERN scientists recreated the first moment after...

How to Build a Better City

Why Does Earth Have Deserts? For the same reason it has Rainforests: Hadley Cells!!!

Stars have cores hot and dense enough to force atomic nuclei together, forming larger, heavier nuclei in a process known as fusion. In this process, the mass of the end products is slightly less than the mass of the initial atoms. But...

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a... peach emoji? The Airlander 10 is the world's biggest currently operational aircraft, and though it won't be setting any speed records, it may hold the key to greener, more sustainable commercial and...

Plagues of locusts have been documented since ancient times, and they affect the food supply of one in ten people today. How can we stop them? Well, computer models of locusts swarms tell us every locust is scared to death of its neighbors.

Lots of geological forces need to come together for continents to form, but they all require one ingredient: water.

There are two types of rain, and one of them is almost impossible to forecast.

If you’re trying to figure out where to plan on sheltering during the zombie apocalypse, it’s essential to know whether zombies sink or float!

There are 118 elements on the periodic table, but it seems like only a handful of them get any attention. But just because you haven't heard of an element doesn't mean that it isn't a vital part of everyday life! Learn about these lesser...

How does heat affect airplanes? Turns out heat, speed and density connect to create dangerous situations.

Today Phil follows up last week’s look at the death of low mass stars with what comes next: a white dwarf. White dwarfs are incredibly hot and dense objects roughly the size of Earth. They also can form planetary nebulae: huge,...

When you think of a frozen object in space, you might think of Pluto, but stars themselves actually freeze.

Our understanding of the world has to start somewhere! And while early ideas like the Hollow Earth Theory are mostly wrong and sound silly to us now, that doesn’t mean they weren’t important.

Frozen water molecules don’t seem to be all that interesting. But, these eight weird things that ice can do are truly mind-boggling.
