Mendel's Garden

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit mechanical forces for growth and development.

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.

Driving a spacecraft around a planet isn’t anything like driving on a planet. A physicist explains orbital navigation.

“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.

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

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.

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

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

With the demand for human donor organs desperately outstripping supply, scientists are working to see if genetically edited pig organs can bridge the gap.

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.

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

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