The aurora borealis is usually seen near the Arctic, but solar winds and magnetic turbulence are sparking some of the best light shows in centuries throughout the US.

A new analysis tries to calculate the coming environmental footprint of AI in the US and finds that the ideal sites for data centers aren’t where they’re being built.

An observatory detected the first radio signal from the interstellar object 3I/Atlas. Here’s what it means.

For years, plastic surgeons thought the proportions of a beautiful buttocks should follow the Fibonacci sequence. Now, people are looking for a more Kardashian shape.

The math behind even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major advances toward understanding it.

An experimental gene-editing therapy developed by Crispr Therapeutics is showing promise for treating heart disease.

Trump’s anti-climate agenda is making it more expensive to own a car, period.

Two mathematicians have proved that a straightforward question—how hard is it to untie a knot?—has a complicated answer.

The interstellar comet 3I/Atlas reached its closest point to the sun. Here's how to follow the rest of its journey away from our solar system.

New diagnostic kits aim to revolutionize early screening of the disease, potentially allowing patients to receive treatments—such as monoclonal antibodies—sooner.

Nitazenes, a class of synthetic drugs 40 times more potent than fentanyl, are steadily becoming more common on both sides of the Atlantic.

By combining LED technology and nanomaterials, researchers have created a therapy that eliminates cancer cells using localized heat without damaging healthy tissue.

This month-long meteor shower peaks just after mid-November and is known for producing bright “fireball” shooting stars. Here’s what to know about Leonids and other major showers that will appear in 2025.

“Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

Unusually warm ocean temperatures fueled one of the worst hurricanes on record. New research finds climate change increased the storm’s likelihood.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number theory to explain quantum fractals.

What sneaky invisible forces enable these instruments to locate buried treasure?

Seven years after the first gene-edited babies were revealed, biotech startup Manhattan Genomics is reviving the idea of editing human embryos to make disease-free children.

The X-59 successfully completed its inaugural flight—a step toward developing quieter supersonic jets that could one day fly customers more than twice as fast as commercial airliners.

An ideological war over how tech giants can account for AI data center emissions has bled into the international arena.

As temperatures increase, trains and subways are becoming unendurable. Potential solutions include everything from cooling tunnels with water to painting rolling stock—but there’s no magic fix.

New Mexico City International Airport was canceled when only half built, and has since been flooded and restored into wetlands.

The storm, which is set to make landfall in Jamaica on Tuesday, has stunned meteorologists with its intensity and the speed at which it built.

The Atlantic CEO’s new book, The Running Ground, examines his complicated relationship with the sport. On this week’s episode of The Big Interview, he talks about the ways tech is helping him become a better runner.
