Only about 5% of the universe is visible by humans. So, what about the remaining 95%? It turns out that this large portion of dark matter actually consists of dark matter and dark energy, and that's what we are going to talk about in this article; with a special focus on dark matter.
Neurons are an essential part of our nervous systems and bodies. Imitating one of them is a difficult task; however, thanks to science, it has become a reality.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics to three astrophysicists based on their discoveries relating to black holes. Half the prize was awarded to Roger Penrose, with the other divided between Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.
Many people have misconceptions about what epilepsy actually is. Here are eight common myths and their corresponding truths.
On Oct. 1, 1990, scientists undertook one of the most significant explorations of the universe to this date. Instead of aiming upwards at the stars, researchers looked into our cells and began the arduous process of mapping the entire human genome.
Some individuals prefer to write with one hand over another while others throw with only one of their hands. This is usually because one of your brains is dominant over the other.

Gene editing through CRISPR and other methods will enable humans to control their own evolution. How does this novel technology work?
In 1950, during a lunch conversation with three other physicists, American physicist Enrico Fermi exclaimed, “Where is everybody?” Seventy years later, scientists are still trying to explain the lack of any evidence for extraterrestrial life despite all theories pointing towards the existence of aliens.
Dramatic increases in global temperatures have caused a New Arctic to form, an example of the dire importance of immediate change to reduce carbon emissions to prevent higher temperatures and ocean acidification.
