What happens to your brain & body when you eat spicy food. 

Hot peppers trick your brain into thinking your mouth is on fire. But there's no real heat in a pepper. So, what's going on?

It's all about a chemical compound in peppers called capsaicin. Capsaicin binds to pain receptors on our nerves called TRPV1. 

Normally, it reacts to heat by sending warning signals to the brain. Capsaicin causes TRPV1 to send those same signals. So, you react as if there's something hot in your mouth. Читать дальше...

Yellowstone National Park may be best known for its Old Faithful geyser and its stunning wildlife, but the national park also sits atop a supervolcano that simmers just under the surface.

You can see evidence of the volcano's active state in the park's famous hydrothermal activity, including Old Faithful, which shoots water every few hours.

Because the area's still active, researchers have been trying to determine when it might erupt again. And according... Читать дальше...

For four seasons now, the Golden State Warriors have been the NBA's most dominant offense thanks to a high-octane system that promotes ball and player movement and, of course, three-pointers.

But it's easy to forget that in 2014, when Steve Kerr became head coach, he was taking over a team that underwhelmed on offense and often played a stagnant, one-on-one system.

As ESPN's Baxter Holmes recently documented, when Kerr was hired, he envisioned an up-tempo... Читать дальше...

More than a dozen wildfires killed at least 23 people and engulfed more than 3,500 homes, buildings, and other structures across Northern California in one of the worst firestorms in state history.

For most people, interviews are not fun.

It's a stressful time where you're doing your best to make a good impression, while simultaneously trying to sell yourself to the recruiter.

Unfortunately, it's also where most people go wrong.

As a former HR and recruiting executive, I became a career coach after watching far too many talented people crash-and-burn the interview.

Especially when it came to small talk.

The specs for the new iPhone 8 Plus' camera sound enticing — it's one of the most highly touted improvements  on the phone.

What would happen if Yellowstone erupted?

Yellowstone is a living, breathing supervolcano. In the last 2.1 million years the supervolcano has erupted three times.
