The crew onboard the International Space Station (ISS) will soon welcome a new member, described by its creators as "a kind of flying brain."

Holding hands with a loved one might spark more of a connection than just the feeling of flesh on flesh: new research suggests it causes our breathing and heart rates to sync up between partners, and could even ease bodily pain.

In recent months, researchers at OpenAI have been focusing on developing artificial intelligence (AI) that learns better.

The foundation stone of quantum mechanics doesn't just describe the behaviour of infinitesimal subatomic particles – it also governs the movement of the largest and most massive objects in the Universe, says a prominent astrophysicist.

It's not often you get chance to look at something that's several billion years old - we're totally amazed by these fossilised remains, found in rocks formed from microbial mats that settled in shallow pools some 1.6 billion years go.

Parents are reluctant to vaccinate their children for many reasons, but one of the more persistent arguments has been a fear of 'overwhelming' the immune system.

As advanced and efficient as our solar panels are becoming, they're still pretty much useless when rain clouds arrive overhead. That could soon change thanks to a hybrid cell that can harvest energy from both sunlight and raindrops.

With corporate participation, researchers seek to build a pilot fusion energy plant within 15 years.

A tweet can wreak havoc in a few hundred characters, as demonstrated in April 2013 when someone hacked the Associated Press Twitter account and claimed that explosions at the White House had injured President Barack Obama.

My mind is blown multiple times in this video.

When Falcon Heavy lifted off, it became the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage…

The world now has a rocket thruster that uses air instead of fuel - and it could change how satellites fly in the lowest orbits around Earth.

Statistics don't lie.

The American public is fascinated by scientists, but that doesn't mean they always trust them. A new survey from the 3M State of Science Index reveals the complex attitudes that many people have towards scientists and science itself.

Nanowood is a strong yet lightweight material made by chemically stripping wood to its skeletal fibres. It’s eco-friendly and insulates better than styrofoam

Time is a strange thing. As Einstein said, it is a relative concept. He wasn't predicting a bizarre paradox to beset Future Europe in the year 2018, but he may as well have been.
