This is the exact moment that I started creating something called Tinkering School.

"We're trying to balance the interests of the science community, the interest of the human exploration community and the interest of the commercial community."

Forget the weird, inflatable habitats you've seen in sci-fi movies. Your future Martian house could actually feel a lot like home here on Earth (even if it looks totally different)

When it comes to broken bones, the children of generation Z may never have to deal with the itching that comes from wearing a cast--an all-too-familiar scenario for both kids and adults healing from accidents.

Higher levels of humanin, a peptide encoded in the small genome of the mitochondria, in the body is linked to longer lifespans and better health.

Canadian researchers at the Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) facility at INRS, generated 300 terawatt laser pulses (3 joules for a 10-femtosecond pulse).

Tiny, 3D printed cubes of plastic, with intricate fractal voids built into them, have proven to be effective at dissipating shockwaves, potentially leading to new types of lightweight armor and structural materials effective against explosions and im

Today's information technology relies on electronics that consumes a huge amount of energy, the electrons within electric currents can also transfer a form of angular momentum called spin.

Peak laser intensity demonstrations have occurred on specific Nd:glass-based lasers:

Impressive new work from an international team of scientists has demonstrated a potential way to restore vision in those suffering from degenerative diseases of the retina.

It's up, up, and away for Space Perspective, the latest spaceflight startup set on sending tourists to the stars. The company officially opened its Launch Operations Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center last month.

The resolution amplification out at the gravitational lens would be mammoth compared to large telescopes near to Earth. There is a need for both. Having 100 meter or multi-kilometer telescopes on the moon or at LaGrange points would be useful for low

Extreme metamaterial ceramic solar sails survive a close pass of our sun to reach speeds of 60-70AU per year which is over 0.1% of light speed. Theis propel low mass spacecraft using a dive to extreme proximity to the sun (just 2-5 solar radii).

Perovskite is emerging as a promising material for solar cells, but it has some durability problems. Now, engineers have developed a new electrode that could make them more stable, using a protective layer of "graphene armor."

Plans to start mining the Moon as early as 2025 became more attractive this week after a US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) team found evidence that the Earth's natural satellite may, underneath its surface, be richer in metals

A "concept incubator" envisages a dystopian future where babies are grown inside sophisticated electronic pods which completely replace the womb and pregnancy.

Grant (Beech Grove Farm) is using animals and natural soil building techniques to create healthy soil to provide food for his community.

Gardening businesses have been booming during the coronavirus lockdowns, and nurseries have busily tried to keep up with the unexpected--and unprecedented--demand.

Containing the electromagnetic radiation generated by electronic components is a key consideration for designers of electronic devices, but today's metal-based shielding materials have their downsides.

Juice detoxes, water fasting, and soup diets are often credited for stimulating healthy weight loss and cleansing toxins from muscle tissues--but what about tumor suppression?

About halfway through their historic mission, a pair of NASA astronauts are preparing for their return

She can't get sick or be late to the set, and her hair and makeup needs are minimal: Her name is Erica, and Hollywood is hoping that a sophisticated robot can be its next big star.

Fantastic swale system built on contour at 1% grade to soak and shed water. Learn all about how Grant of Beechgrove farm set it up and planted out a food forest.

If virtual reality headgear is going to start gaining more mass appeal, making these wearables as light and as unobtrusive as possible is really going to help.

The value of movie memorabilia is invariably linked to the importance of the film it comes from, with key props from the greatest films of all time always bringing auction prices commensurate with their time in the spotlight.

People know that computers became a multi-trillion dollar industry because it rode the exponential growth in power of Moore's Law.

Perhaps this is a forecast of the work of Tesla's 'Roadrunner Project' and million-mile battery tech?

Check out the two awesome mobile chicken coops over at Beechgrove Farm in Seymour Tennessee. One is for egg layers, that has rain water collection and a great egg collecting system. The other is for broilers and very inexpensive and simple to make. G

Even though bees had a 'very good year,' with the second smallest winter hive loss in 14 years, according to an annual survey released in March, agriculture experts continue to look for alternative pollination techniques. And, just in time for Na

What's it like to bring new farm babies into the world? Our author shares her experiences and tips on caring for baby goats, chicks, and goslings.

NASA has released a time-lapse video of our Sun that condenses 10 full years of solar observations into a gorgeous 61 minute movie.

'Robot dog named Zeus' is seen inspecting SpaceX's rocket test site in Texas after a Starship tank exploded during a cryogenic pressure test

Learn how to make biochar and its many beneficial uses including greatly enhancing soil life and fertility. Discover innovative ways to maximize its uses for dynamically carbon negative farming and gardening.

Everyday I'm carrying heavy water buckets to the animals in pasture. Finally, I've put together a clever system that gets water out to pasture where it's convenient.

I'll explain WHY it doesn't stink and HOW I get free compost from it. See How I feed the Chickens from the Garden and the Garden from the Chickens.

Gordon Ramsay Hamburger recipe is an art, by using a special Gordon Ramsay burger blend of, brisket, chuck sirloin, and short rib ground beef and along with freshly grilled onion slices that add such an important component in building the perfect bur

The pursuit of next-generation battery architectures have scientists exploring all kinds of alternative materials, and one that has been seen as a great candidate for some time is silicon.

SpaceX Wants You to Try Getting Internet From Space with Starlink

A solid-state battery, where the liquid electrolyte that carries the charge is swapped out for a solid alternative, promises a number of performance benefits over today's solutions, but there are a few problems to solve first.

Hydrogen's impressive energy density offers some compelling advantages that could see it make a huge difference in the electric aviation and eVTOL sectors, as well as in renewable energy, where it's a lightweight and transportable

Dexamethasone, a cheap steroid, reduced deaths by one-third in ventilated patients and by one fifth in other patients receiving oxygen only. There was no benefit among those patients who did not require respiratory support.
