Plastics are everywhere - in food packaging, everyday items you use and even in personal hygiene products. But according to the shocking results of a study, there are also plastics inside your body.

Fortune LiFePO4 Battery Cells: I love them!

We've known for quite some time that sugar essentially feeds cancer cells, with tumors preferring to use sugar fermentation as a source of energy. But now, studies are showing that it could, in fact, be the cause of the disease in the first place.

We've been following the progress of the Hadrian X bricklaying robot since it first started flexing its giant telescopic arm back in 2015, and have seen the team behind it make a few notable improvements since.

For the last three years, a team led by Google's former Director of Robotics, Dr. Aaron Edsinger, has been secretly working on an assistive robot. Hello Robot has now emerged from stealth to reveal its first fruit, the Stretch Research Edition.

The verdict is now inescapable: Gardasil is killing girls.

Unfortunately fluoride can be found just about everywhere today from drinking water to antibiotics, no stick pans, salt, and toothpaste, making exposure to it somewhat inevitable. The exposure makes research providing a way to help prevent and limit

It's been a grueling six-year journey to get here

The science and technology of vastly better batteries can be very confusing. Lithium Metal and hybrid lithium batteries and many other battery chemistries.

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.

Space agency NASA is to preparing to launch its groundbreaking "Psyche" spacecraft that will explore a huge asteroid claimed to be worth more than the economy on planet Earth

Symptomatic improvement after treatment was reported for each patient consisting of first improvement, mostly better, and completely better.

Team members of the Miniature Radio Frequency (Mini-RF) instrument on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft found new evidence that the Moon's subsurface might be richer in metals, like iron and titanium, than researchers thought.

Tesla is trading at a valuation of over $250 billion.

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
