In a first of its kind experiment, physicists from Washington State University have created the only known matter in the world with “negative mass.” Unlike every other physical object in the world we are familiar with, this mass accelerates backward under pressure. This phenomenon, known as the intuitive side of Newton’s Second Law of Motion (force is equal to the mass of

Scientists have successfully teleported something into space for the first time ever. The experiment saw Chinese scientists send a photon up away from Earth, further than ever before. Teleportation of this kind uses the bizarre effects of quantum entanglement, rather than physically hurling the object itself over distances. Instead it transfers the information about a photon

18 year old Julian Rois Cantu watched as his Mom battled, and almost lost her life to cancer. The awful situation he found himself in inspired him to create something which would help others in the same situation in the future.   At the age of just 13 Julian’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Since the first generation of Magnox nuclear reactors in the UK produced during the 1950’s and up until the 1970’s were put into use, scientists have used graphite blocks to support the nuclear reactions. These graphite blocks have sustained so much radiation that they, themselves, have become radioactive and produce a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. Until now, we haven’t

A couple of years ago, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre discovered a thruster system which actually generates thrust, despite requiring absolutely no propellant. The implications of this discovery are far-reaching; applications for space flight and other technologies which require propulsion could one day become far cheaper, allowing space exploration to expand exponentially. The existence of this

The world’s first smart earpiece let’s two people, speaking different languages, understand each other through translation. It’s the result of two years of R&D from Waverly Labs, a New York-based technology firm. The current model seems to access a slight delay before relaying your partner’s words in a computerized voice, in your language. Integrating this

Water is one of the most precious resources on Earth, but its importance seems forgotten in the western world where its ease of access is often instantaneous. But for 768 million people worldwide, it’s a daily struggle to find safe water, and in result, 1,400 children under the age of five die from water-based diseases every day. Inspired to offer

While there are nuances to the claim made in this headline, it is technically true since Tesla announced that it turned a profit of $22 million last quarter while the US oil industry managed to lose $67 billion last year due to its inability to stomach lower gas prices, according to the U.S. Energy Information

Bioquark, a biotech company based in the United States, has been given the go-ahead to begin research on 20 brain-dead patients, in an attempt to stimulate and regrow neurons and, literally, bring the patients back from the dead. The technique is new and untested so the study will likely be controversial. By implanting stem

It seems that myth has finally become reality, now that scientists have crafted up the first human-animal hybrid recently in a lab experiment. Researchers from Salk Institute have defied the laws of nature by growing embryos that featured both pig and human DNA. The creation of human-animal hybrids has been a controversial topic that has
