A NASA mission called Psyche is about to launch on a mission out to an unusual asteroid that's scientists believe is largely composed of metal.

Researchers have created an artificial synapse device that displays plasticity and learning ability by merging a photoelectric perovskite material with an organic ferroelectric polymer. The advance offers a pathway to intelligent electronics and insights into…

Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in the DNA code signaling the end of a gene, suggesting the nee…

The BBC has an interesting article on Point Nemo, AKA the Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility, AKA the spacecraft graveyard. This is the place in the ocean that is furthest from land, in the middle of …

Earth’s ocean is incredibly vast. Some parts of it are so remote that the nearest human habitation is the International Space Station. As the world warms,

The hole in the ozone layer appears each year around this time, and varies in size due to temperature and other atmospheric conditions.

Scientists find spinning supermassive black hole in distant galaxy after 20 years of research

Texas A&M University and its partners in the Giant Magellan Telescope announced this week that they have begun the four-year process to fabricate and polish the telescope’s seventh and final primary mirror — the last required to complete the GMT’

A significant water reservoir discovered beneath the ocean floor near New Zealand may offer insights into the mechanics of slow slip earthquakes and tectonic activity. Researchers have discovered a sea’s worth of water locked within the sediment and rock of a…

Chinese scientists have detected a new fast radio burst from elsewhere in the universe with the help of the world's largest radio telescope.

I know we’re primarily an automotive site, but we’re really a site for all manner of vehicles. We cover airplanes, trains, motorcycles, and I’m not opposed to covering the occasional elevator or moving sidewalk, if, say, the Otis people want to drop off a pre…
