More than half of the world’s population speaks Indo-European languages, but where was their ancestral homeland? For many years, scholars have sought an answer, proposing hypotheses about Asia Minor, the Caucasus, and the Eurasian steppes.

While the world’s largest nations invest billions in large-scale initiatives, Chinese developers are proving that cutting-edge technology can be affordable. German scientists are introducing a revolutionary approach — training AI without real-world data

Roger Penrose is a living legend of modern science and one of the pioneers of black hole theory. His genius has made him an iconic figure in mathematical physics, endowed with incredible intellect, charisma, and influence — yet deeply controversial.

Radical changes in climate control, artificial intelligence, and healthcare. These scientific fields are undergoing significant transformations that could shape their development for years to come

Have you ever wondered what the world sounded like before the rise of civilization? In his book The Natural History of Silence, French entomologist Jérôme Sueur explores how human-generated noise impacts nature and ecosystems

We must honestly admit that in the 21st century, we are no less superstitious than in previous centuries. But what does modern science think about the nature of superstitions? Why does belief in omens remain so significant for us?
