China has embarked on its first crewed space mission in almost five years, launching a trio of astronauts into orbit to occupy its under-construction space station. The crew will remain aboard the station’s core module for a three-month mission carryin… Continue reading China launches first crew to Tiangong space station
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, (UC Berkeley) have demonstrated yet another use for the ever-versatile wonder material graphene, using it as the basis for an advanced sensor that can image electrical signals from living cells and … Continue reading “Graphene camera” images the electric field of a beating heart
Engineers go to great lengths to maximize the exposure of wind turbines, placing blades atop tall towers on the crests of hills or miles off shore over the wild, unprotected ocean. A new study has thrown up an interesting curve ball that could open up … Continue reading Surprising study shows how wind turbines can work better behind hills
Over the past few years, Nuro has been taking some important steps toward a future of autonomous delivery through partnerships with some big names, and it’s just landed what might be its biggest fish yet. The startup has entered an agreement with logis… Continue reading FedEx eyes a future of automated delivery through partnership with Nuro
Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) have developed a new type of night-vision technology that is the first of its kind. Taking the form of an ultra-thin film, it can be applied directly to glasses to act as a filter, needing only a s… Continue reading Ground-breaking night-vision film can be applied to regular glasses
As it eyes the future of sustainable transport through the development of advanced batteries and hydrogen fuel cell technologies, General Motors is now expanding these ambitions to include the world of freight. The automaker has entered a new agreement… Continue reading GM batteries and hydrogen fuel cells to be adapted for low-carbon trains

As a massive bubble encasing the solar system that stretches across tens of billions of miles and protects us from harmful interstellar radiation, there is a lot for us to learn about the heliosphere. Scientists have uncovered some new details around t… Continue reading Scientists map the boundary of interstellar space for the first time

A first-of-a-kind spacecraft is set to make history later this year, and will do so using materials you could find at your local hardware store. The world’s first wooden satellite will enter orbit as a box made largely of birch plywood, which will be p… Continue reading World’s first wooden satellite to launch later this year
