Three thousand light-years from Earth sits Kepler 160, a sun-like star that’s already thought to have three planets in its system. Now researchers think they’ve found a fourth. Planet KOI-456.04, as it’s called, appears similar to Earth in size and orbit, raising new hopes we’ve found perhaps the best candidate yet for a habitable exoplanet

How K-pop fans became celebrated online vigilantes

When the Dallas police called for the public to send them videos of illegal activity during protests a week ago, they didn’t get the evidence of law-breaking demonstrators they expected. Instead, fans of Korean pop music downloaded the police department’s app en masse, rallied each other to flood it with short, fan-produced videos, and gave

No, coronavirus apps don’t need 60% adoption to be effective

With dozens of digital contact tracing apps already rolled out worldwide, and many more on the way, how many people need to use them for the system to work?

“앞으로 강아지 산책시킬 때 ‘이런 풀’에 ‘절대’ 다가가지 마세요”

반려견에게 꼭 필요한 산책. 그런데 산책길에 비상이 걸렸다. ‘금강아지풀(Yellow foxtail grass)’ 때문이다. 최근 온라인 미디어 굿플네스는 국내에도 많이 서식하는 금강아지풀이 강아지의 눈이나 다리를 찔러 심하게는 사망에 이를 수도 있다며 그 위험성을 소개했다.   금강아지풀은 한해살이 풀로 똑바로 서서 자라며 표면에 청백록색을 띠고 뒷면은 녹색이다. 강아지풀과 비슷하게 보이지만 강아지풀보다 털이 적은 대신 억센 까락(털)이 있고 이삭이
