Scientists in the U.K. share a five-dimensional black hole simulation model that could ‘break’ the general relativity of Albert Einstein, the very foundation of modern physics.
Scientists at the University of Southampton have taken this one extraordinary step further, announcing that they have developed a method to record data that could outlast the human race itself.
Two years ago, Virgin Galactic's SpaceshipTwo, the space plane it hoped to use to send tourists into space, failed on a test flight and crashed in the desert. Now, it's revealed a brand new version of SpaceShipTwo.
In the largest study of its kind, an international team of experts led by Newcastle University, UK, has shown that both organic milk and meat contain around 50% more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally produced products.
A dial-like structure found on brain cells called astrocytes means they are "actually incredibly flexible and potentially modifiable," says Keith Murai.
Another state in India has approved construction of an ultra mega solar power project, boosting the Indian Government's plan to set up 20 GW of large-scale solar power parks.
No source of energy is perfect and one of the traditional drawbacks of solar energy has been that it’s tough to generate new power when it’s dark outside. However, SolarCity announced this week that it’s taken a big step toward fixing this problem by agreeing to use Tesla’s 52 MWh Powerpack lithium-ion battery storage system.
For the sake of chronological order, historians and analysts use a beginning and end date for generational identification. The identification includes common behaviors and attitudes characteristic of that generation.
We've puzzled over the nature of entanglement for almost a century. Now physicists have devised a way for us to "see" it for the first time.
The Chinese firm Kaidi announced that it wants to build a big biodiesel refinery in Kemi. Kaidi Finland's CEO says this signals a new phase in Finnish industrial history, driven by the need to replace fossil fuels with biofuels.
Earth is home to 2,550 exotic minerals, some so scarce the world supply would fit inside a sugar cube. One of the Earth’s rarest minerals is Nevadaite, which has only been found in two places on the planet.
For some, the idea of realistically achieving the ability to travel through time is a thankless pipe dream. For others, each passing day is but another 24-hour block of dreaming about how to best alter history once the surely inevitable technology comes along to make time travel as easy as swiping a bus pass.
Researchers have recreated the universe's primordial soup in miniature format by colliding lead atoms with extremely high energy in the 27 km long particle accelerator, the LHC at CERN in Geneva.
Yesterday and today I have been spending time in Rome together with 600 Italian colleagues, at a symposium named "What Next". The idea is to discuss what should be the strategy of the institute to participate and support basic research in fundamental physics in the next few decades.
