FAST has picked up a repeating space signal known as a fast radio burst. Known as FRB 121102: first picked up in 2012 at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, it's appeared several times since. Its origin remains a mystery.
Scientists have designed a first-of-its-kind 3D-printed device that can produce electricity from falling snow. The device designed by U.S. researchers is inexpensive, small, thin and flexible like a sheet of plastic.
New legislation was announced that would require all plastic materials sold in California, US to be reusable, fully recyclable, or compostable by 2030. However governments should think more aggressively about how to fight plastic
Amazon has made a deal with a big American home builder, to build "Alexa-enabled smart homes" where you can do a lot more than just adjust your temperature.
From bridges to cars, 3D printing proved this year that it’s still relevant and exciting.
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that heat from the sun and coldness from outer space can be collected simultaneously with a single device.
Less than a year after the world's largest X-ray laser launched in Germany it's showing promise for medical research. Researchers have published the first results: three-dimensional images of protein molecules.
Astronomers have discovered that both starburst galaxies in the early Universe and a star-forming region in a nearby galaxy contain a much higher proportion of massive stars than is found in more peaceful galaxies.
The three supercomputer clusters are located at the University of Edinburgh, the University of Bristol and the University of Leicester, and will run more than 12,000 Arm-based cores.
General Electric says it’s ready to build the world’s biggest offshore wind turbine, a structure stretching to skyscraper heights and capable of powering more homes than any current rivals.
Researchers have discovered a simple technique to make atomically thin flakes of material. The breakthrough, published in Science, is expected to lead to faster, more energy efficient electronics.
A real-time algorithm illustrates all possible trip combinations and then assigns the best vehicle for each trip.
The next generation of cutting-edge accelerator magnets is no longer just an idea. Recent tests revealed that the United States and CERN have successfully co-created a prototype superconducting accelerator magnet that is much more powerful than those currently inside the Large Hadron Collider.
During SXSW this year, people gathered to hear about a mysterious giant tube that will move people from place to place in the future.
Scientists from China have made history by taking a cell that's not a sperm cell and then used it to create a live animal. A similar technique could be used one day to treat infertility in humans.
