Are there Earth-like planets in a neighboring star system? A new campaign called “Pale Red Dot” aims to show the public in real-time how to push astronomy to its limits to possibly find out.
The brain's memory capacity is in the petabyte range, as much as entire Web, new research indicates. The new work answers a longstanding question as to how the brain is so energy efficient and could help engineers build computers that are incredibly powerful but also conserve energy.
Born in Chicago, the 22-year-old erudite has been named “The Next Einstein” by Harvard University. Gonzalez Pasterski is an MIT graduate and Harvard Ph.D. candidate interested in answering some of the most complex questions in physics.
Mark Zuckerberg and his team must transform Facebook into a development shop for drones to deliver the Internet via lasers.
83% of Dubai's population are foreign born, says report published by the International Organisation for Migration.
If we've learned one thing from breathy concept designs and cheesy sci-fi movies, it's that we all deserve flexible technologies: bio-electric tattoos that measure our vitals and tablets we can roll up to shove in our pockets.
This future aircraft concept is centered around connected human experiences. Slick entertainment screens, fascinating LED light displays and doors that raise from floor to ceiling are some of the concepts in Boeing’s aeroplane of the future.
The very first experimental observations of knots in quantum matter have just been reported in Nature Physics by scientists at Aalto University (Finland) and Amherst College (USA). The scientists created knotted solitary waves, or knot solitons, in the quantum-mechanical field describing a gas of superfluid atoms, also known as a Bose-Einstein condensate.
Media TIC integrates technology into its structure in a way unlike any other building. It is part of the very framework that the building is built on.
Tesla, the all-electric-car company, has just unveiled an SUV model that's not only environmentally friendly — it's also vegan.
A new theory suggests a shorter secondary inflationary period that could account for the amount of dark matter estimated to exist throughout the cosmos.
Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have come up with a technique to convert mature cells into stem cells by “squeezing” them. This discovery could finally allow stem cells to be produced on an industrial scale.
Astronomers using the Nobeyama 45-m Radio Telescope have detected signs of an invisible black hole with a mass of 100 thousand times the mass of the Sun around the center of the Milky Way.
Origin of exploding star that is twice as luminous as any other remains unclear. Seven months after it was first spotted, a puzzle still hangs over the origin of the brightest supernova ever seen.
Indium tin oxide, the transparent conductor currently used for more than 90% of the display market, is costly. Scientists have discovered a new possibility.
