China’s armed forces are openly seeking artificial intelligence tools to track undersea targets, analyse satellite orbits, generate deepfakes and fuse battlefield data at speed, according to a sweeping new study of more than 9,000 procurement…

For decades, scientists have been studying intriguing “gravity holes,” which are enormous depressions in the Earth’s crust where the effects of gravity are significantly lower than average.

It’s an especially pertinent phenomenon…

A chemical reaction on the ocean floor has emerged as the decisive factor that allowed one planet-wide ice age to last 56 million years while a later freeze ended after just 4 million years.

That result overturns the long-standing assumption that…

For years, scientists have debated how the Kuiper Belt’s “snowman” worlds formed. Did two separate bodies collide at just the right speed to stick together – or were they born as pairs from the start?

A new computer simulation now tips the…

When killer whales attacked a great white shark near South Australia’s Neptune Islands in 2015, the story spread quickly.

After the attack, white sharks disappeared from the area for 69 days. Many people blamed fear of orcas for driving them…

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the intricate architecture of cells and…

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, affordable microscope that can image…

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules with a strong positive…
