Saturn's sixth-largest moon is incredibly far from the sun, but new research shows that it could probably sustain life.
Singapore and German researchers succeeded in developing and fabricating the first full-size interdigitated back contact (IBC) bifacial solar module in the world. The groundbreaking module could last longer and generate more power.
The researchers calculated that the combination of sunshine and CO2 at the end of this century would already be equivalent to the Eocene climate 50 million years ago, the warmest time period since the dinosaurs reigned.
In debates over the future of artificial intelligence, many experts think of the new systems as coldly logical and objectively rational. But in a new study, researchers have demonstrated how machines can be reflections of us in problematic ways.
Recent research has shown that DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification is so accurate that chronological age in humans can be predicted +/- 3.6 years from any tissue or fluid in the body. This is referred to as the epigenetic clock.
In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists will disperse aerosols into the stratosphere in initial tests of a controversial technique for blocking incoming solar radiation.
With 4D printing, the element of time becomes part of the printing system, resulting in materials that emerge with one shape but then morph into another.
The research grants provide funding for new studies of spacecraft propulsion, synthetic biology and more
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced this week that the city has committed to ensure all government buildings will be powered by 100% renewable electricity by 2025.
Traveling in space, the data shows, can be a positive experience for participants, giving them a greater appreciation for people, nature and our tiny place in the universe.
To counter the impact of unsustainable palm oil production, such as deforestation and habitat degradation, the European Parliament has approved a resolution to phase out the use of vegetable oils that drive deforestation by 2020.
A new study finds key to produce perovskite solar cells that display both high efficiency (21.2%) and long-term stability (1,000 hours of light exposure).
A mysterious flash of X-rays has been discovered by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in the deepest X-ray image ever obtained. This source likely comes from some sort of destructive event, but may be of a variety that scientists have never seen before.
A French design studio recently unveiled OxyGen, their competition-winning proposal that will bring greenery and prefab construction to Paris’ major business district.
