Lasers could heat materials to temperatures hotter than the centre of the Sun in only 20 quadrillionths of a second, according to new research.
PKS 1302-102 is one of the few known quasars with a pair of black holes within its accretion disc. It is also a curious case for astronomers as it will produce a powerful explosion when these two black holes merge. The scientists trying to determine the scale of this merger estimate that it could result in an enormous release of energy.
Like a blinding beacon lighting up the night, a powerful gamma-ray-generating stellar husk has been seen pulsating in a neighboring galaxy.
Astronomers have found a rocky planet orbiting a small star that is within easy telescope views from Earth.
Using genetic modification, nanotechnology, bionics, reconstructive surgery, hormones, drugs or any combination of these approaches, real-life human enhancement is looking ever more achievable.
Astronomers capture an image of the continuing eruption of the most powerful explosion since the big bang.
The first measurement of the interaction between antiprotons - the antimatter equivalent of protons - has been completed by an international team of physicists working at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York.
Astronomers from the University of Bonn in Germany, have discovered what appears to be the longest X-ray tail associated with a stripping process from a galaxy on a large scale. This galaxy with the enormous X-ray tail is a member of a galaxy cluster known as Zwicky 8338.
As of last month, driverless battery-powered buses have been buzzing around Trikala'a small Greek city with a population of just 80,000. The bus has been trialed without passengers since summer of this year.
Lower Austria, one of the country's nine states, has thrown its hat into the renewable ring.
One of the top engineers working on NASA's controversial EM Drive thruster at the Eagleworks Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in Texas has spoken publicly about the current state of the project. This is the first direct update in months, as NASA is keeping a very tight lid on the developments.
Galaxies have halos surrounding them, which may be composed of both dark and regular matter. This image shows a substructure within a halo in the Q Continuum
China's Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is expected to be at least twice the size of the world's current leading collider, the Large Hadron Collider.
A miniature 3D-printed network of microchannels designed to link up an artery to a tissue implant to ensure blood flow of oxygen and nutrients.
Two Guatemalan teens start a revolution for girls everywhere by creating policies and funding to aid girls in their community.
