Contrary to what you may have heard, there is actually a way to mend a broken heart - but the solution might not be entirely what you're expecting.

We're on the verge of creating autonomous weapons that can kill without any help from humans. Thousands of experts are concerned about this - and the latest campaign effort against this tech is a chilling video demonstrating the kind of future we'r

Our first detailed glimpse at ‘Oumuamua, the interstellar asteroid that recently flew by Earth, shows it’s one of the weirdest asteroids we’ve ever seen

The answer could be hiding in the Drake equation itself.

Humans have soft muscles and rigid skeletons, and when exerted in optimal sync they have the potential to lift a fairly impressive amount of weight.

Flat-Earthers are having one heck of a week. Not only is one of these deniers of terrestrial sphericalness about to embark on a most audacious experiment, but they've now come to the attention of none other than Elon Musk.

The Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) has developed new battery material, made from a "graphene ball," which could potentially deliver charging speeds five times faster than today's lithium-ion batteries. Samsung announced the new mat

A physicist from the University of Campinas in Brazil isn't a big fan of the idea that time started with a so-called Big Bang.

The Yeti of the mountains of Asia, hairy like a white ape, yet bipedal and standing taller than a man, is numbered among the world's most beloved cryptids. Yet, for all the eyewitness accounts, physical evidence of the beast is proving tricky to pi

In the early 1960s, scientists developed the gravity-assist method, where a spacecraft would conduct a flyby of a major body in order to increase its speed. Many notable missions have used this technique, including the Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, Ca

A series of late-stage drug trials are showing great promise for a completely new generation of migraine prevention drugs, which could hit the market as early as next year.

An exotic kind of particle so mysterious that it was suspected to be impossible has finally been identified by physicists – and not just once, but twice.

This artist's illustration shows the evolution of the universe over time, starting with the Big Bang (left). Was the universe created with a Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, or has it been expanding and contracting for eternity? A new paper, inspired by alternative…

Plant scientist Joanne Chory has US$3 million more than she did last week.

"This algorithm could run cities, continents, universes."

Scientists are reporting what could amount to be the firmest evidence yet of genetic links to male sexual orientation, in the first published genome-wide association study (GWAS) examining the trait.

In its five years of existence, CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized the field of gene editing, allowing researchers to edit DNA like a piece of text. While it’s potential is unquestionable, ethics and safety concerns have prevented CRISPR from being used to treat…

Scientists just took a big step towards the goal of quantum computers, and even a quantum internet to connect them, after successfully using photons to transfer quantum information between a cold atomic gas and a solid crystal.
