Many questions remain unanswered about methane hydrates, including a rather big one: could our current climate change thaw some hydrates, contributing to further warming in the near future?
Two teams of researchers reported they have detected a prebiotic molecule—a potential building block of life—around newly formed sunlike stars.
Recent research shows that light is much stranger and more complex than scientists had previously given it credit for. According to recent findings, light can also behave like a liquid.
Remains of the earliest known Homo sapiens date to 300,000–350,000 years ago in North Africa, and push back the origins of our our species by over 100,000 years.
A presentation at the June 6th AAS meeting confirms that our galaxy is inside an enormous cosmic void, the largest one ever discovered.
An astrophysics researcher has identified the possible compositions of the seven planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. TRAPPIST-1e may be the best candidate for future habitability studies.
I visited the garment factory workers who could lose their jobs to automation. But could robots also change their lives?
IBM’s Science for Social Good program will use AI, cloud and deep science to solve global challenges.
In honor of the holiday, over 2,000 volunteers gathered on Versova Beach, India, collecting over 160 tons of accumulated trash.
Architects teamed up to create the stunning Seine Musicale in Paris. The shimmering glass globe's exterior is wrapped with a massive solar panel “sail” that rotates around the building to follow the sun.
IBM has unveiled the world's first 5nm silicon chip. The 5nm IBM chip is notable for being one of the first to use horizontal gate-all-around (GAA) transistors, and the first real use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.
UK authorities landed their first arrest last week relying on an automatic facial recognition (AFR) system.
Researchers in Switzerland have developed a method for splitting carbon dioxide using solar energy, which could help provide a way to turn the greenhouse gas into fuel.
A new study offers a cautionary tale for using the widely hyped gene-editing tool CRISPR on people.
A study shows bacteria in low-temperature environments could reduce carbon footprint
