Audio enclaves are local pockets of sound no one else can hear—no headphones required. What if you could listen to music or a podcast without headphones or earbuds and without disturbing anyone around you? Or have a private conversation in public without other people hearing you? Newly

Brain scans from nearly 39,000 people revealed genes and drugs to potentially slow aging. When my grandad celebrated his 100th birthday with a bowl of noodles, his first comment was, “Nice, but this is store-bought.” He then schooled everyone on the art of making noodles from scratch, sounding

The project explores how life adapts to extreme environments—and hopes to inspire new drugs or even treatments to aid space travel. A human can’t survive in the Mariana Trench without protection. At its deepest, the trench plunges 35,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean to a region

If true, then we’re more likely to find evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence in the future. A popular model of evolution concludes that it was incredibly unlikely for humanity to evolve on Earth, and that extraterrestrial intelligence is vanishingly rare. But as experts on the

Going beyond genetic letters, the results could transform medicine. Thanks to increasingly efficient and affordable gene sequencing technologies, we can now chart our genetic blueprint in unprecedented detail. But what does each gene do? Of the roughly 20,000 genes that encode proteins,
