Whether you grew up with a poster of the solar system on your bedroom wall or not, you've probably got a specific idea of what the planets look like. From brilliantly blue Neptune to the "red planet" Mars. But if you managed to actually...

If you've ever watched an animal sleep and wondered what they're dreaming about, science has the answers.

Rhymes might seem frivolous, but there's scientific evidence for why we like them so much.

On the Internet, koalas get an unnecessary amount of hate, so let's debunk some of the most pervasive koala myths!

Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, often...

The laws of physics don’t specify an arrow of time - they don’t distinguish the past from the future. The equations we use to describe how things evolve forward in time also perfectly describe their evolution backwards in time. So the...

Physics progresses by breaking our intuitions, but we’re now at a point where further progress may require us to do away with the most intuitive and seemingly fundamental concepts of all—space and time.

The tools made by our human ancestors may not seem like much when you compare them to the screen you’re looking at right now but their creation represents a pivotal moment in the origin of technology and in the evolution of our lineage.

During one of the most pivotal moments in our evolutionary story our brains actually shrank relative to our bodies.

Time passes for all of us at the same rate of one second per second. But why does it sometimes feel like time is passing so fast, or so slowly? Especially during COVID? Let’s learn about how our brains keep track of and try to make sense...

The first thing a baby giraffe experiences after being born is a 2 meter fall straight down to the ground. But within an hour, it’s standing, walking, and nursing on its own. And a blue whale calf, after nearly a year growing inside mom,...

The Sun is green, actually. We'll go into why the blackbody effect means the Sun emits more green visible light than any other color, and why evolution and color perception mean it's ok to see it as yellow, anyway.

Do you like drinking milk or chatting with your friends? Well, you can enjoy those because of the evolution happened over the past million years, and we are still evolving. Let's find out what will we be like in the future with us!

Big-brained scientists have found the mechanism that may have allowed their brains (and all humans') to get so big.

What if you couldn’t remember anything past 30 seconds? Let us introduce you to a man named Henry Molaison who was diagnosed with anterograde amnesia. He couldn’t form new memories.
