Physicists detail how “Ice VII” forms for the first time and what this means for life elsewhere in the galaxy.

The Five Deeps expedition aims to explore the bottom of each of the world’s oceans. The first stop is in Puerto Rico this December.

The elusive Kordylewski dust clouds were finally spotted near the L5 Lagrange Point.

For more than half a century, scientists have debated over the existence of two puzzling celestial objects known as the Kordylewski dust clouds.

These dust clouds were first observed by Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski in 1961 and are thought to orbit our planet around the L4 and L5 Lagrange points — two of the five gravitationally stable locations found in the Earth-moon system.

In early 2020, the FACET-II facility aims to open for use by scientists across the world. Plasma accelerators are compact accelerators that are more affordable. FACET-II will be the upgraded version of the current FACET facility. Where the aim of the upgrade is to get the electron beam brighter by about 100 or even 1000 times. FACET-II will be the home of experiments that will add to medical and x-ray science, and particle physics. Currently, potential users are submitting proposals for experiments they would like to carry out at FACET-II. A program advisory committee will evaluate the proposals and select the most exciting ones with the largest impact in science for the upcoming experimental runs.

These fragrances were dreamed up by Waton’s creative cousin, Philyra.

It has no nose, and yet it must sniff.

The ISS captured this massive lightning storm over China.

Who should a self-driving car kill?

The infamous “trolley problem” was put to millions of people in a global study, revealing how much ethics diverge across cultures.

In the spirit of Halloween, where ghouls, ghosts, and vampires walk among us, our perception of reality will soon transform as well, forever possessed by the specter of Transhumanism!

Last year, I wrote about how people could transform themselves into one of my favorite horror creatures—a real-life werewolf—using modern science and tech. This merely scratches the surface, however, in terms of how far an individual can go. In a Transhumanist future, you’ll be empowered to not only question the extent of your humanity but equally put those questions into action.

For a remarkably social species, we’re not particularly effective communicators.

Finding the right words to clearly, efficient transmit our thoughts to another consciousness—even something as simple as driving directions—can be a challenge, especially in-the-moment and under pressure.

What if we could do away with words altogether? What if, rather than relying on an intermediary, we could directly transmit our thoughts through a digital, internet-like space into another mind?
