Can we solve quantum theory’s biggest problem by redefining reality?
With its particles in two places at once, quantum theory strains our common sense notions of how the universe should work. But one group of physicists says we can get reality back if we just redefine its foundations ⌘ Read more

An asteroid is about to hit Earth - but don’t worry, it is only small
A newly spotted asteroid dubbed CAQTDL2 will impact just east of the Philippines. There is no danger from the space rock, which will burn up in the atmosphere and could appear as bright as the moon in the night sky ⌘ Read more

Most detailed map of uterine lining yields clues about endometriosis
An intricate atlas of the inner lining of the uterus could help researchers better understand conditions like endometriosis, infertility and abnormal menstruation ⌘ Read more

We finally know exactly how dark deep space is
A faint glow from all of the galaxies that have ever existed fills the cosmos, and NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has made the best measurement ever of just how faint it is ⌘ Read more

How understanding the brain’s microglia could end neurodegeneration
The brain’s microglia fight invaders, clear debris and tend neural connections, but sometimes they go rogue. Preventing this malfunction may offer new treatments for Alzheimer’s ⌘ Read more

Wild bees have found a surprising place to nest in cities
A survey found 66 species of insects making their homes in cobbled pavements on the streets of Berlin, and greater biodiversity near insect-friendly flower gardens ⌘ Read more

Huge asteroid impact may have knocked over Jupiter’s largest moon
Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, has signs of an enormous ancient impact that would have redistributed its mass, changing its orientation in relation to Jupiter ⌘ Read more

Pregnant shark that disappeared may have been eaten by another shark
Tracking data from a pregnant porbeagle shark near Bermuda suggest it was eaten by a great white shark – a kind of predation that has never been seen before ⌘ Read more

Earthquakes may explain how huge gold nuggets form in quartz rock
Quartz crystals produce electricity when they are deformed by mechanical stress, which may explain how enormous chunks of gold can form in inert rock ⌘ Read more

Lab-grown stem cells could be a ‘breakthrough’ for cancer treatment
Stem cells made in the lab may one day aid cancer treatment by reducing our reliance on donors ⌘ Read more

We’re finally solving the puzzle of how clouds will affect our climate
Clouds can trap heat or reflect it away from Earth, making their impact on global warming extraordinarily hard to predict. Now, new ways of studying them are lifting the fog ⌘ Read more
