Should we limit the use and knowledge of genetics in the case of conception? What about using genetic engineering to make humans healthier—or even enhancing humanity by manipulating DNA?
The experimental successes of quantum mechanics are astounding, yet the theory still has towering mysteries regarding the essence of quantum reality. Philosopher David Albert joins Brian Greene to explore the …
CRISPR: It’s the powerful gene editing technology transforming biomedical research. Fast, cheap and easy to use, it allows scientists to rewrite the DNA in just about any organism—including humans—with tests on human embryos already underway.
In this year-end wrap up, Brian Greene discusses some of the major advances in science with a focus on breakthroughs in black hole physics and the key roles played by …
At present, our brains are mostly dependent on all the stuff below the neck to turn thought into action. But advances in neuroscience are making it easier than ever to hook machines up to minds.
Forget what you think you know about dark matter. After a 30-year search for a single, as yet unidentified, species of dark matter particle that would make up some 25% of the mass of the universe, physicists are starting to consider novel explanations.
