A team of researchers from UC Riverside is developing a mobile robotic pressure chamber.
The solar panels, developed by student Carvey Maigue, won this year's Dyson Sustainability Award.
In these past couple of weeks, two important studies have been published that could dramatically increase our understanding of the Covid-19 disease.
It what could mark the beginning of another era of "space races", China has officially launched an unmanned spacecraft to the moon with plans of bringing back lunar rocks.
There are very large companies, often state owned, who would need to foot the bill to develop this and if they all decide it's not worth it they don't have to worry about anyone getting a commercial advantage by doing it, a sort of unofficial collu
The community of bacteria that lives in our gut has become the focus of much medical research of late, with scientists uncovering evidence that it can play a role in depression, autism, multiple sclerosis and heart disease, to name just a few example
Brian Greene moderates this fascinating program exploring the fundamental principles of Quantum Physics. Anyone with an interest in science will enjoy this thought-provoking and highly entertaining show.
In these past couple of weeks, two important studies have been published that could dramatically increase our understanding of the Covid-19 disease. Adding to the science of how we understand and treat this disease is something that should be welcome
In a satirical piece for Under the Button, writer Scott Newman imagines a scenario in which the Chinese Communist Party comes up with a next-generation version of COVID-19.

It should also help to reach the desired temperature in shorter time.
While traditional diamonds are formed over billions of years deep in the Earth where extreme pressures and temperatures provide just the right conditions to crystalize carbon, scientists are working on more expedient ways of forging the precious ston
Are electric pickup trucks the beginning of the end for gas-powered trucks?
Optically transparent aerogel is essentially a lightweight foam made of silica, the material of beach sand, and consists mostly of air. It reduces the rate of heat loss by tenfold.
Join leading thinkers in the emerging field of quantum biology as they explore the hidden hand of quantum physics in everyday life and discuss how these insights may one day revolutionize thinking on everything from the energy crisis to quantum compu
Greene leads you through all the startling conclusions of special relativity, from time travel to space warps to E = mc2. In the span of 2+ hours, this short master class will change your conception of reality.
Although we've already heard about pressure-sensitive "skins" that could be applied to robotic or prosthetic appendages, Japanese scientists have created one for use on real human fingers.
Elon Musk tweeted that SpaceX developed and uses LIDAR for Dragon docking with the Space Station. Elon and Tesla do not use LIDAR for for self-driving.
A simple home test for breast cancer and a solar energy-harvesting window made of recycled materials are the big winners of this year's James Dyson Awards.
A study of 6,000 Danes was set to reveal whether wearing a face mask actually reduces the risk of COVID-19. The only problem is leading medical journals are refusing to publish the data, and the study's lead author hinted it's because they're not "br
