The robots are assisting the health care staff with basic tasks.

Quantum Teleportation Beyond The Starship Enterprise

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now managed a significant breakthrough.

A living thing in two places at once? This quantum quandary test is limited | Science

A recent proposed microbe experiment based on Schrodinger's counter-intuitive theory would have a scale so small as to be almost meaningless, and other challenges such as consciousness also come into play

Scientists confirm a cornerstone of quantum computing

Quantum physics theory has an odd but fundamental quirk: atoms in a quantum state aren't supposed to move as long as you're measuring them. It sounds preposterous, but Cornell University researchers have just demonstrated that it's real.

World's Largest Floating Solar Power Plant

It's barely been a month since we reported on the government of Kawajima-machi's (Saitama Prefecture, Japan) plans to develop a 7.5 MW solar power plant on the surface of Umenokifurukor

The First Hyperloop Test Track Will Soon Begin Construction

The Hyperloop transportation concept is set to get its first test track built in the near future, with construction to begin in a matter of a few weeks, according to recent reports.

New Hubble images reveal faint galaxies from the early cosmos

Spectacular new Hubble Space Telescope images reveal 250 previously unknown galaxies that formed just 600 million years after the Big Bang.

Finding life on other planets just got easier with new scientific method

Humans may feel small when contemplating the universe, but astronomers are closer than ever to at least making us feel a little less lonely thanks to a new method of measuring planetary habitability and advances in telescope technology.

Cometary Science with the James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as the largest space-based astronomical observatory with near- and mid-infrared instrumentation, will elucidate many mysterious aspects of comets.

Discovery of two close-in exoplanet companions sheds new light on planet formation

Some 300 hot Jupiters have been identified over the past two decades, and this is the first time any close-in planets were discovered.

20 Years on, Future Bright for Exoplanet Science

The new field of exoplanet science has progressed rapidly in the last two decades: Astronomers have now confirmed the existence of nearly 2,000 planets beyond our own solar system.
