The hopes and dreams of regenerative medicine and the use of stem cells to treat or cure diseases have been a beacon of promise for 25 years. But after a roller coaster ride of scientific breakthroughs, clinical setbacks, policy wrangles, and an explosion of suspiciously charlatan clinics pushing un...

Most people know we don’t have a working theory of quantum gravity, but it is often hard to explain why. The simplest explanation is that we don’t know how gravity behaves at the smallest scales, and, since quantum physics deals with those scales, we can’t construct such a theory. ...

Here’s something interesting for you. All the coal in the world was made at the same time, not before that brief period; nor after till date, and I don’t think it will be after in the future only if we don’t think. The process of coal formation started abruptly at 360 million ...

Biology is more complex and diverse than commonly thought, requiring many different technologies and techniques for various applications. For example, the components necessary for stem cell therapeutics to cure cancer differ from those employed in regenerative agriculture centered around i...

The Earth is some kind of rare in the Milky Way galaxy. No matter how scientists slice it, our planet is special. And this isn’t the anthropocentrist in me making a statement. The Earth settled into just the right orbit and had just the right combination of elements, and just happened to avoid...

The Kardashev scale ranks the technological capabilities of a civilization based on its ability to manipulate and exploit energy. It was developed by Russian astronomer Nikolai Semenovich Kardashev in 1964 as a way to measure a civilization’s technological advancement based on its usable energ...

The first thing to notice is that the scale has six marked edges. If you’re in the US, they will typically be multiples based upon an inch. As you rotate the scale, you will see edges marked from 10 to 60 units per inch. That is to say, there is a side each for 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, ...

Poly Pages is an online platform and podcast. They recently began running events for their community, and they had to decide how to make those events accessible to everyone. “Polyamorous spaces — including conferences and meet-ups — are often really white, middle-class, and...
