The Washington Post late Friday night published an explosive story that, in many ways, is classic American journalism of the worst sort: The key claims are based exclusively on the unverified

Scientists are a little bit closer to unlocking the mystery of how the rules of the quantum realm translate to the rules of the classical physics of the observable world. Experts predict that the materials used in this research, topological insulators, will play a key role in furthering this development.

There's a supercluster 10 billion lightyears away swimming in a pool of gas that's 100 billion times more massive than our sun and its making us rethink how these galaxies are formed. Observing this new way in which superclusters are formed can teach us much about how our universe looks and the many ways it forms into the objects we observe.

A group of activists, investors, and visionaries have pledge to invest $10 million over the next two years to study whether a universal basic income system would work in the United States. The system is already being tested in places like Canada and Finland, and if successful, it could offset the widespread unemployment expected by increased automation.
