Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars – rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing. Using these technologies, computers can be trained to accomplish specific …
Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that exerts a negative, repulsive pressure, behaving like the opposite of gravity. It has been hypothesised to account for the observational properties of distant type Ia supernovae, which show the universe going through an accelerated period of expansion. Like Dark Matter, Dark Energy is not directly observed, …

However, the term Universe may be used in slightly different contextual senses, denoting such concepts as the cosmos, the world or Nature. Current interpretations of astronomical observations indicate that the age of …
Before long, though, it wouldn’t be so fun. You’d soon need to keep a fire going around the clock, because Earth would become a much colder place without the Sun’s heat. In addition, food would become scarce over time, since plants wouldn’t grow without the sunlight they need for photosynthesis. The Sun’s energy also powers …
