A team of US researchers have, for the first time, fully 3-D printed an array of light receptors on a hemispherical surface. This discovery marks a significant step toward creating a "bionic eye".
The city of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, is about to become home to the world's first floating dairy farm. An offshore facility is under construction and will house 40 cows producing 1,000 litres of milk per day.
From India to Taiwan to Canada to the UK, groups of parents are fighting back against their municipalities' obsession with 'safety at all costs' and insisting that kids have the right to interesting play spaces.
By the end of this year, Sweden will have added enough capacity to reach its 2030 target of 18 terawatt hours of new renewable energy output 12 years early.
A new material can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli.
The study shows that in 2016, nearly 3 million deaths globally were attributed to alcohol use, including 12 percent of deaths in males between the ages of 15 and 49.
Two years after launch, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has snapped its first pictures of asteroid Bennu, setting the stage for a cautious approach designed to put the probe in orbit around its quarry on New Year’s Eve.
The red points in the picture above are areas around the world with fires actively burning, accurate as of Thursday. It doesn't look great.
Scientists have discovered a new technique that can leave out particular sections of a gene, essentially 'skipping' them. New method, called CRISPR-SKIP, could be used to control how genes are expressed and regulated.
The world’s first ultrathin artificial retina, based on flexible 2D materials, could drastically improve visualisation technology for the blind.
For the first time, physicists at CERN have observed a benchmark atomic energy transition in anithydrogen, a major step toward cooling and manipulating the basic form of antimatter.
Global food waste is expected to increase by a third by 2030 if no action is taken, reaching a whopping total of 66 tons of food wasted per second.
The oldest and thickest sea ice in the Arctic zone north of Greenland is splitting in a never-before-seen event. For the second time this year, the frozen waters cracked open to reveal the sea beneath them.
In addition to the Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion spacecraft, NASA have teamed up with Lockheed Martin and other contractors to develop the Deep Space Gateway.
The international research team found that magnetic field reversals could happen much more rapidly than the thousands of years previously thought to be needed.
