A supervoid is unlikely to explain a ‘Cold Spot’ in the cosmic microwave background, leaving room for exotic explanations like a collision between universes.
In Oslo, the world’s greenest air terminal uses a reservoir of snow gathered during the winter to cool the building throughout the summer months
An architect envisions that his futuristic development could contain up to 200 vegetation-covered towers, a train system, and lots of green space.
In a historic move, the country will no longer allow “prospection, exploration, exploitation, extraction or processing of metallic minerals.”

An Italian neuroscientist who says he’s planning to perform the world’s first head transplant later this year has told a German magazine that he intends to thaw a cryogenically preserved brain and transplant it in a donor body within three years.
A research group has developed a camera that can film at a rate equivalent to five trillion images per second, or events as short as 0.2 trillionths of a second. This is faster than has previously been possible.
Teams of scientists are now working on a truly creative strategy: a pill carrying the genome-editing power tool CRISPR that instructs harmful bacteria to shred their own genes to bits.
Ben Tippett, a mathematics and physics instructor has created a formula that describes a method for time travel. " We tend to think it's not possible because we don't actually do it," says Tippett. "But, mathematically, it is possible."
Bodies that are buried or cremated leach essential nutrients into ground. But human funerary practices mean they are being concentrated in cemeteries instead of being dispersed evenly throughout nature.
Two-dimensional quantum materials with novel electrical and magnetic attributes have been fabricated by physicists.
Technology developed at MIT could enable faster, cheaper, more adaptable building construction.
According to team of neuroscientists in Portugal and Australia, bacteria in the guts may be chemically communicating with the brain in such a way as to impact dietary choices.
