Now, an experiment years in the making has directly visualized superconductivity on the atomic scale in one of these crystals, finally revealing the cause of the phenomenon to nearly everyone’s satisfaction. Electrons appear to nudge each other into a frictionless flow in a manner fi...

In 1916, Albert Einstein dared to declare that Isaac Newton was wrong about gravity. No, he said, it's not a mysterious force emanating from Earth. Instead, Einstein imagined that space and time are twisted in an interdimensional grid, and the laces of this grid are like unwound paper clips. Bendable; moldable. It's only because we exist inside this sort of intangible mesh, he believed, that our simple human bodies experience the facade of a force holding us to the ground. We call that...

We all know how important sleep is for our mental health. We have heard people saying that sleeplessness can cause severe damage to your mental health. But have we wondered how insomnia could affect the circuits of our minds? Researchers with a recent study explained how our brain would be replete with bundles of hyperreactive cells if we deprive ourselves of sleep. In other words, our noggins overheat when we don't take appropriate rest and sleep.

A Tesla owner has implanted two scannable chips into his hand in order to store cryptocurrencies and data. The chips also function as a key to his home and as a way of accessing his medical card.
