    Scientists Ran a Quantum Experiment That Could Change What We Mean By Reality

    For centuries, there has been one assumption almost nobody has had reason to question: if two people witness the same event, they should be able to agree on what happened.

    Scientists Built an Enzyme That Could Erase Decades of Molecular Aging

    Aaron Cravens was hoping for a 20% reduction. His company had spent years chasing damage that biochemists had largely treated as permanent since the 1980s: sugar residues that gradually attach themselves to long-lived proteins in your skin, arteries and eyes. The body has no natural enzyme designed to remove them, so the damage accumulates year…

    The Surprising Way Children Picture Scientists Today

    For years, researchers asked children to draw a scientist and received almost the same answer every time: a man in a lab coat, often wearing glasses and surrounded by beakers. Now, after decades of research, that picture is changing, with children drawing women scientists far more often than they once did. The shift offers a…

    Almost 1.8 million people answered the same uncomfortable questions about themselves, giving researchers a rare opportunity to compare personality patterns across much of the world. When those answers were placed alongside decades of data on corruption, violence, inequality, and poverty, a striking pattern emerged. The results put countries including Indonesia and Mexico toward the higher…
