Right in the heels of bagging the title for the fastest supercomputer in the world, Chinese scientists are already building a new machine that will vastly surpass their current record holder.
Near Melbourne, Australia lies an incredible suburban project underway dubbed Yarrabend. What is unique unique about this venture is that all of the houses will come standard with Tesla Powerwalls and solar panels.
Recent research shows humpbacks do more than just protect their young: they often go on the offensive, actively seeking out and harassing killer whales – and even preventing them from attacking other species like seals, porpoises and sea lions.
Ultrathin and transparent oxide thin-film transistors have been developed for an active-matrix backplane of a flexible display by using the inorganic-based laser lift-off method.
Technological shifts outpace our awareness of them. While we're busy with our day-to-day lives—getting a new smartphone or downloading the next updates—we often don't notice how these incremental changes shape our relationship with technology.
In 2009 astronomers detected an unusual object, named CX330, as a source of X-rays as it was surveying the center of the Milky Way galaxy but they had not idea what it was. Today, astronomers have a better idea to what this strange object is.
A team of engineers at Washington University in St. Louis has found a way to use graphene oxide sheets to transform dirty water into drinking water, a discovery it says could be a global game-changer.
Cameron’s short documentary presents visuals of climate-related devastation along with voices calling attention to the issue. The video also takes aim at Donald Trump showing some of his more outrageous remarks on the topic.
CHINA is on the brink of launching a groundbreaking new satellite capable of conducting quantum experiments in space, leading some to predict it will usher in the beginning of a new space race.
Virgin Spaceship Unity, set to begin test flights next month, includes a very special nod to the theoretical physicist.
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have engineered a potentially game-changing solar cell that cheaply and efficiently converts atmospheric carbon dioxide directly into usable hydrocarbon fuel, using only sunlight for energy.
A NASA news release describes a recently published study which has found that Jupiter’s Great Red Spot appears to act as a heat source and is likely the reason behind the planet’s surprisingly high upper atmospheric temperatures.
New data from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has, for the first time, begun to pinpoint large numbers of the black holes sending out the high-energy X-rays.
In real life, Matt Damon chases down the one thing every person needs, but can’t always get—clean water. Damon’s appearances worldwide for the Water.org charity have delivered danger-free drinking water to 4.3 million people in 12 countries.
