People may be able to feel with artificial, robotic skin.
Scientists have found a unique volcanic process taking place somewhere unexpected: the moon.
The New Horizons spacecraft's historic flyby of Pluto has given scientists a lot of information about the icy world.
Quantum physics, meet genetic engineering. Scientists have used engineered viruses in order to provide quantum-based enhancement of energy transport.
Imagine soft robots that can bend, walk and grip. That's exactly what scientists have created in this latest study, which may herald a new age of robotics.
Where did pebbles on Mars come from? They may have just been pushed by a river that existed millions of years ago. Scientists have examined mages of a few rocks and found that their smooth shape may be due to plentiful past water.
Scientists have captured the Coalsack Nebula in new, spectacular detail with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-Meter Telescope.
Scientists have found that projectiles that slam into the dwarf planet actually tend to stick and stay on the dwarf planet, which could help explain the characteristics of Ceres' surface.
