Elon reveals the Model S dual motor all-wheel-drive and the new autopilot functionality at a special launch event.
Robot drivers are on their way
Raisins, fingers, and brains, explained
Researchers from the University of Manchester and University of Sheffield have developed a new prototype semi-transparent, graphene-based LED device that could form the basis of flexible screens for use in the next-generation of mobile phones, tablet
Those working through the night or regularly falling victim to jet lag may be familiar with the physical toll of disrupting our biological clocks.
Solar cell efficiency has made significant strides in recent times, but cells are still far from their maximum theoretical efficiency, and part of the reason is that the semiconductors we use to build them don't have ideal electrical properties.
This first-time event will feature many hands-on science and health activities for families, students and seniors.
The second experiment took the memory task one step further, by asking witnesses about things they had heard, as well as things they had seen. This time, participants watched a clip from Crimewatch, showing a reconstruction of a burglary where an eld
Were his patients shocked? You bet they were. Who would ever suspect a Doctor of faking a diagnosis to collect money. It's unconscionable. Yet it happens with cancer and almost every disease that medical doctors can generate income through kickb

Good news for people without natural born talent: You don't need it.
The art of extreme costume makeup has come a long way. Consider, for example, the carefully painted faces of Broadway actors in Cats and then fast forward a few decades to Ralph Fiennes as a noseless, ghostly Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies.
Graphene is extremely strong for its weight, it's electrically and thermally conductive, and it's chemically stable ... but it isn't magnetic.
The quantum entanglement of particles, such as photons, is a prerequisite for the new and future technologies of quantum computing, telecommunications, and cyber security.
The Hubble space telescope has given us decades of incredible images, but it's reaching the end of its service life and the question is, what will come after?
