Scientists have created, for the first time a three-dimensional skyrmion in a quantum gas. The skyrmion was predicted theoretically over 40 years ago, but only now has it been observed experimentally.
Surprisingly, a quintessential equation of quantum mechanics emerges while studying astronomical disks of orbiting material.
General Electric says it’s ready to build the world’s biggest offshore wind turbine, a structure stretching to skyscraper heights and capable of powering more homes than any current rivals.
In 2011, Stratolaunch Systems was founded with a simple goal: to reduce the costs of rocket launches by creating the world’s largest air-launch-to-orbit system. Recently, their aircraft reached a major milestone.

The country aims to develop a more sustainable food system that relies on plant-based foods instead of animal agriculture.
Three planets, all slightly larger than Earth in diameter, orbit a star called GJ 9827, about 100 light-years away. A study of the planet trio found that one of the most massive super-Earths found to date lies among them.
A small team of researchers announced that its correspondingly small telescope picked up a signal produced by the very first stars in our Universe.
The findings could aid engineers in developing technology suited to withstand the coldest reaches of outer space or the most frigid regions on Earth.
Rome, Italy just announced plans to ban oil-burning cars within the city by 2024. That’s huge news, because roughly two-thirds of new cars sold last year in Italy were diesel.
In a massively ambitious project aimed at improving the health of its 3 million residents, the city of Dubai plans to sequence the DNA of its entire population.
These cities have large populations, such as Seattle, Vancouver, Oslo, Auckland and Nairobi. The analysis also shows that 43 cities out of 102 have now reached the astounding feat of running on 100 % renewables.
The Federal Administrative Court ruled this week that German cities can legally ban diesel vehicles.
