A new study investigates the potential use of a virus against cancer. Researchers hope that the findings will be useful for different types of cancer.

Huge facilities, typically the size of several football stadiums, usually generate synchrotron radiation. The new device is smaller than a match.

Counting tiny particles that can zip straight through the Earth reveals what the planet is like on the inside.

Researchers have created a ‘modular’ robot which can analyze its environment and reconfigure itself to overcome obstacles and achieve tasks.

Scientists at Cern’s Large Hadron Collider have seen something that may force us to abandon everything we thought we knew about the world on the level of particles.

And hey, it might work within “decades to centuries.”

Scientists want to equip Earth with some planetary porch lights.

One of the UK’s biggest sites, Metro, has run a major story on the Transhumanist Bill of Rights.

We meet the campaigners calling for the UN to adopt a Bill of Rights which lets ‘digital entities’ pursue life, liberty and happiness.

Aside from being comets, they both offer valuable insight about how solar wind affects the dust tail—the long stream of dust following in the comet’s path. Scientists used a temporal map, which layers information from multiple images, to discover that variations of solar wind push the dust around like a ruffled feather—suggesting that the dust is electronically charged. This discovery sheds light on the processes that formed dust into asteroids, moons, and planets in the early days of our solar system.
