Flat Earthers visited Antarctica for the first time and discovered, to their surprise, that our planet is actually round.

The ancient Egyptians are known for their extraordinary works of art and architecture, yet, experts are also interested in the gaping voids they left behind.Indeed, deep within the Great Pyramid of Giza, there exists a massive, sealed space which, though empty, continues to fascinate archaeologists....

Our ancestors probably used a wide range of plant-based tools that have since been lost to history. Now we're finally getting a glimpse of this Botanic Age

Download raw imagery from JunoCam and upload your processed imagery to the gallery!

From the first daguerreotypes of Paris and London to early images of America's booming cities, these incredible black-and-white photos show what the world looked like in the 1800s...

Hens try to hatch golf balls, whales get beached. Getting things wrong seems to play a fundamental role in life on Earth

Selecting a Linux distribution can be daunting but when you finally find the one, you stick with it. Pop!_OS has been my go-to for a long time. Here's why.

Harvard University is one of the most revered institutions in the world, so when its academics publish new studies, people take note. It may come as a surprise, therefore, that a team of scientists at Harvard and Montana Technological University, have just produced a paper suggesting an advanced alien civilisation may be “walking among us” here on ...

Scientists spent ages mocking panpsychism. Now, some are warming to the idea that plants, cells, and even atoms are conscious.

Faster-than-light warp drives are theoretically possible to build, and if aliens are using them, we should be able to detect the gravitational waves produced when one goes wrong

Useful mathematical concepts, like the number line, can linger for millennia before they are rigorously defined.

Nature - Google scientists have modelled a fragment of the human brain at nanoscale resolution, revealing cells with previously undiscovered features.

If we can learn to speak their language, what should we say?

The scientific case against owning a cat.

A four-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast 30 years ago.

Evolution didn't start where we thought.

Resolution down to half a wavelength.

SX-STM enables detection of atom type, simultaneous measurement of its chemical state.

Complex, evolving systems abound in our Universe, even beyond the realms of biology. From the growth of stars to prebiotic chemistry, diverse mixes of materials can often be shaped into far more complex forms. Yet unlike other so many other physical phenomena, their changing nature is yet to be represented by a discrete law. That's according to a US team of astrobiologists, philosophers, a mineralogist, a theoretical physicist, and a data...

New theory explains origin of comet that killed the dinosaurs.

Here’s what it takes to pause the perpetual motion of particles.

Scientists worked out how long past messages would take to arrive at different stars, and how long it would take a response to arrive.
