Scientists think there are 300 million habitable planets in the Milky Way, and some may be home to intelligent life. Bruno Gilli/ESO, CC BYIf a person is lost in the wilderness, they have two options. They can search for civilization, or they could make themselves easy to spot by building a fire or writing HELP in big letters. For scientists interested in the question of whether intelligent aliens exist, the options are much the same. For over 70 years, astronomers have been scanning for radio o

Two of naturalist Charles Darwin’s notebooks that were reported stolen from Cambridge University have been returned, two decades after they disappeared.

A seemingly intractable black hole paradox first proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking could finally be resolved — by wormholes through space-time.

Prof Stephen Hawking's scientific papers and personal possessions to be saved for the nation.

London’s Science Museum and the Cambridge University library have acquired a large collection of items belonging to physicist Stephen Hawking.

Your cheat sheet into the mind of one of the world’s greatest physicists.

They created a black hole analog out of a few thousand atoms . The absorbed photon has negative energy and subtracts energy in the form of mass from the black hole, while the escaped photon becomes Hawking radiation. From this alone, given enough time (much longer than the age of the universe), a black hole could completely evaporate away. [That's] just like being in a black hole, once you're inside, it's impossible to reach the horizon." Editor's note: This article was updated to include "analog" in the headline to ensure that readers are aware the experiment was done with an analog of a black hole, not an actual black hole.

Halloween is a time to be haunted by ghosts, goblins and ghouls, but nothing in the universe is scarier than a black hole. Also, the massive black holes seen at the center of all galaxies have insatiable appetites. With all we’ve learned about black holes over the past few decades, there are still many mysteries to solve. Since then, about 50 black holes have been discovered in systems where a normal star orbits a black hole. The good news about massive black holes is that you could survive falling into one.

Stutzman is among several Paralympic athletes who are profiled in the Nexflix documentary Rising Phoenix that will be released in 190 countries on Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020. If your mood is being dragged down by the pandemic, you'll be uplifted by these three Paralympic athletes and many others like them who are profiled in the Nexflix documentary Rising Phoenix, which will be released in 190 countries on Wednesday. In the Paralympic sport, everybody has a story, Xavi Gonzalez, the former CEO of the International Paralympic Committee, says in the film. The documentary weaves the history of the Paralympic Games around the athletes' lives and the financial ups and downs of the movement. And in the Paralympics, none of the bodies look the same.Or Stutzman, known as the Armless Archer, who grew up wanting to be basketball player Michael Jordan.

"I believe the answer is yes we can" when it comes to the future of health, Gates said. Gates has made global health his priority, funding research and solutions for some of the world's largest health epidemics via the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Based on the technology innovation he sees, here are three of the predictions Gates made about the future of health.
