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.
This week saw an important milestone for the aviation sector's ongoing efficiency drive with a technical, but important, new regulation taking shape at the specialised UN agency dealing with aviation, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The H-2A rocket flies into the sunset sky over the Tanegashima Space Center at 0845 GMT (3:45 a.m. EST; 5:45 p.m. local time
Tom Werner can rarely clear his schedule. Instead, he clears his mind.
System could help prevent robots from overwhelming human teammates with information.
For the first time, astronomers have analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet in the class known as super-Earths. Using data gathered with the Hubble Space Telescope and new analysis techniques, the exoplanet 55 Cancri e is revealed to have a dry atmosphere without any indications of water vapor.
Online gamers have uncovered better models for folding RNA molecules than supercomputers housed in some of the world's most prestigious research labs, according to a new report. An online community of more than 100,000 registered Eterna players discovered features of RNA molecules that make folding them simple or difficult.
An international team of researchers has seen "extraordinary" results using patients' own immune cells to fight cancer. In one trial, 94 percent of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia saw their symptoms disappear entirely.
Artificial intelligence researchers have turned to literature to try to teach ethics to machines.
In what may provide a potential path to processing information in a quantum computer, researchers have switched an intrinsic property of electrons from an excited state to a relaxed state on demand using a device that served as a microwave 'tuning fork.'
Physicians and biomedical engineers from Johns Hopkins report what they believe is the first successful effort to wiggle fingers individually and independently of each other using a mind-controlled artificial "arm" to control the movement.
University of Washington astronomers have identified a rare type of supernova
How can Asia's cities cities sustain rapidly growing populations without further wreaking havoc on the environment, while still maintaining their competitive edge?
