Ahead of E3 next week, Google has given some more details on its game-streaming platform, Stadia, first announced back in March. We now know how much it’ll cost, when it’ll be out and which games will be available at launch…

Space flight requires quite a lot of single-use machinery, and when you’re talking about multi-million dollar rockets that are used once, that gets pretty expensive and wasteful. Companies like SpaceX have made in-roads towards reusable rockets, and now ESA has outlined its own reusable Space Rider capsule, which would carry scientific equipment to the edge of space and back several times over.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a great tool for diagnosing disease in different organs and tissues, but it can be costly and cumbersome. Now, engineers at the Boston University Photonics Center have developed a new device, small enough f… Continue reading Magnetic metamaterial amplifies MRI for clearer images in less time
Imprints of ancient bones or footprints are often found in rock, but that’s not the only way they form – in much rarer cases they can also be encased in opal. Now palaeontologists in Australia have uncovered the most complete “opalized” dinos… Continue reading Dinosaur herd found fossilized in gemstones in Australia
We owe our long lives to stem cells, which are nestled deep inside certain tissues in the body and constantly replace old cells. In recent years scientists have been able to correct genetic diseases by removing these stem cells, editing their… Continue reading Harvard breakthrough shows stem cells can be genetically edited in the body
So far 2019 has been a bit of a slow year for big game releases, but with E3 fast approaching, we’ll soon know how the next six months are shaping up. This is always one of the biggest weeks of the year for game announcements, details and tra… Continue reading E3 2019: Which games are confirmed, expected, or unlikely to appear?
Alien life is almost certainly out there somewhere, but because it’s most likely microscopic, it probably won’t be easy to spot. Instead we might need to keep an eye out for other biomarkers, which could be detected in the atmosphere, soil or… Continue reading Looking for life on Mars? Look for pasta-shaped rocks
Radiotherapy is an effective method for killing cancer, but the downside is that it harms healthy cells at the same time, sometimes leading to complications. Now researchers from CNIO in Spain have found that boosting levels of a certain prot… Continue reading Boosting a radiation-protecting protein could help cancer patients and astronauts
Cell division is one of the most fundamental biological functions, vital to life – but there’s still so much about it that we don’t understand. In an attempt to find out more, researchers at the University of Chicago have now managed to recre… Continue reading Cell division recreated outside of a cell for the first time
No matter what the latest fad diet tells us to do, we already know the general gist of how to stay healthy – eating too much sugar and fat leads to weight gain and metabolic diseases. But what if you could stay healthier without changing your diet? In mouse tests conducted at Max Planck, researchers have now found a way to alter the fat metabolism in the liver, reducing the chances of diabetes without changing a high-fat diet.
