Every younger sibling learns almost immediately a bedrock truth about parents: When in doubt, punish the older kid. You howl at the right time, and no matter how guilty you are, your older brother or ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

The Milky Way galaxy is like a gigantic ocean gyre or eddy that spins and wobbles around its center. But our home galaxy also has a colossal wave rippling through it, pulling and pushing an ocean of ...

Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river’s famed tidal ...
