Energy teleportation sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but now, research shows that you can actually pull energy from nothing. Using quantum mechanics, two different physics experiments prove it’s possible to conjure energy from an energ…
Humankind is getting very good at looking deep into space: We have already seen two neutron stars colliding, we have encountered mysterious radio blasts and we are about to see, for the first time, the event horizon of a black hole. But there are…
The observable universe contains around 40 billion billion (4x1019, or 40,000,000,000,000,000,000) black holes, according to a newly published estimate. If you can't get your mind around that figure, join the club – but another way of putting i…
NASA has unveiled its new generation of spacesuits, the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU), which will be worn by astronauts on the next moon mission - the Artemis program. The new suits are designed to be more flexible, comfortable, …
Tara Sharifi, a student at Aylesbury High School, recently took the Mensa IQ test in Oxford where she scored well above the “genius benchmark” of 140. The 11-year-old student scored 162 points on the test, which is two points ahead of Einst…
A new NASA video makes the case that Venus is Earth's " evil twin ." The nefarious moniker is revealed to be, in a way, an apt description of why astronomers will be investigating Venus this decade. Scientists and engineers from NASA …
We’re one step closer to a future of near-limitless clean energy. Physicists in Germany just found a way to minimize a major heat-loss problem plaguing a promising kind of nuclear fusion reactor called a “stellarator.” The future of clean energ…
