NASA postulated an amazing, unconventional idea for a future sample return mission to Titan where a spacecraft would refuel on location, using Titan's natural resources
It will be challenging for us to nurture and grow plants when we finally start a colony on the red planet. Researchers on the international space station made an exciting discovery that might make things a little easier
Researchers believe have pinpointed the molecular-level mechanisms that control key biochemical interactions linked to devastating illnesses such as cancer and Alzheimer's - Providing a potential foundation for future treatments
Nuclear fusion has enormous potential and offers the possibility to solve our energy problems, but how far are we with its development? Here's a brief look at some of the issues that scientists encountered
Water ice is an extremely useful resource for planetary colonists and explorers. Fortuitously the Martian poles have a large amount of it. But how long has it been there?
Is all screentime bad for children? Reality seems to be more nuanced as research shows that there are benefits to playing video games for boys. However, as always, moderation is essential.
Scientists from Canada and the UK studied the walking patterns of older adults in order to see whether they could use that information to help in more precisely diagnosing several types of cognitive decline and uncovered some interesting findings.
Researchers at Queen Mary University London are investigating the possibility of using AI and wireless signals to monitor, understand, and record a person's deep emotional state.
