Imagine a world of streets lined with video cameras that alert authorities to any suspicious activity. A world where police officers can read the minds of potential criminals and arrest them before they commit any crimes. A world in which a suspect w
A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our amphibian ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin. The same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in mammalian lungs have unexpectedly been discovered in the s
A six-tonne orca, or killer whale, torpedoes toward the beach, its dorsal fin cutting the Patagonian sea. It launches itself onto the sand in an explosion of water and foam. Before the waters die down, the orca is shaking its immense head from sid
The idea of having your personal genetic code unraveled was once a dream reserved for individuals who were fans of science or big on ego -- and deep in pocket. But a new technique has slashed the cost and time of genome sequencing,
A team of European scientists has deliberately triggered electrical activity in thunderclouds for the first time by aiming high-power pulses of laser light into a thunderstorm.
Just how far have fembots or female androids come? A long, long way, as we discovered in these 4 amazing videos of the newest fembots, or “actroids”, a humanoid robot. Will women soon become obsolete?

Moths that fly high above our heads throughout the night are not at the mercy of the wind but use a sophisticated internal compass which can help them travel up to 400 miles in a single flight, according to a study.
Flat, parallel sheets of carbon atoms in the graphite of pencil lead have been peeled apart by the scientists to yield a sheet a single atom thick that has peculiar properties. This new material, called graphene, is exciting physicists worldwide beca
Einstein gave hope to scientists chasing the most outlandish theories when he famously declared: "If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it." He then proved the existence of black holes [As heard on Goyette.]
