The cosmos is endlessly fascinating because of the mysteries it contains, but with exploration, we're getting ever closer to shedding some light on the dark corners of space (or should we say, dark matters). Missions in the coming years hope to unl
Reaching 67P/Churyumov??"Gerasimenko with Rosetta was an incredible feat of science and engineering that has revolutionized how we understand comets, but the fact is that the orbiter and its Philae partner are just entering the interesting part o
Roboticists at the Ransselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York have built a trio of robots that were put through the classic 'wise men puzzle' test of self-awareness - and one of them passed.
There are now a number of powered exoskeletons either on the market or in development, all of which allow people who lack the use of their legs to walk in an upright position.
Over the past 100 years, many things about the automobile have advanced. Safety, fuel efficiency, and price--they've all improved dramatically. But one thing that hasn't been revolutionized is the tire.
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, also known as HAARP is to be transferred from military operation to "civillian control", as the site is handed over to the University of Alaska, which will continue to use the mysterious facilit
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla -- With weather conditions currently providing a 70 percent chance of favorable conditions for launch, Colorado-based United Launch Alliance (ULA ) is preparing an Atlas V 401 booster to deliver the tenth GPS Block IIF satellite
While there's a healthy selection of compact solar panels to keep our mobile gadgets charged up – light permitting – the vast majority of these are either too small to be effective or too bulky for carting around.
While powered armor suits are a big deal for futuristic soldiers in the Edge of Tomorrow and Alien, real world researchers are hard at work on giving the soldiers of near future battlefields exoskeletons.
Here, a "thought" includes processes related to perception (determining what is in the environment and where), decision-making (determining what to do) and action-planning (determining how to do it). The distinction between, and independence of,
Samsung, lithium-ion battery supplier for companies like BMW, is working through its global R&D hub (Samsung Advanced Institue of Technology) on new generation batteries.
We're running out of IP addresses.
An IP address is a unique numerical identifier for a device connected to a network. Your phone has one, your computer has one, and your Apple Watch has one.
In 2012, researchers at the world's largest particle accelerator announced they had discovered a particle that resembled a key missing piece in our fundamental understanding of physics: the Higgs boson.
Fortunately, there is such a way, and I'm willing to bet that most of you reading this have never heard of it (I hadn't until recently). It's called a Dickens Magnesium Battery after it's inventor, Stephen Dickens; though the principles behin
Testifying before two Senate committees on Wednesday about the threat he says strong encryption presents to law enforcement, FBI Director James Comey didn't so much propose a solution as wish for one.
