Almost as hot as the surface of the Sun. A fast-flowing river of molten iron has been found surging under Alaska and Siberia, some 3,000 km (1,864 miles) below the surface - and it appears to be speeding up. This colossal jet stream, which is estimated to…

Putting Einstein's special relativity to the test. After two decades of trying, physicists at CERN have reported the first ever measurement of the light emitted by an antimatter atom, revealing that antihydrogen is the exact mirror image of regular hydrogen.…

Crash course! It may look as though Saturn's moon Mimas is crashing through the rings in this image taken by out Cassini spacecraft, but Mimas is actually 28,000 miles (45,000 kilometers) away from the rings. There is a strong connection between the icy moon…

New observations confirm an 80-year-old quantum theory. For the first time, MIT physicists have observed a highly ordered crystal of electrons in a semiconducting material and documented its melting, much like ice thawing into water. The observations confirm…

Wtf We like to say we know less about the ocean here on Earth than we do about the surface of Mars, because while we have a vague idea of its overall structure, we’ve only properly seen less than 0.05 percent of it. Imagine we discover an alien planet that’s…

"A huge leap forward." Scientists just completed a trial of a new, non-surgical prostate cancer treatment that uses a tumour-killing drug based on ocean bacteria, and the procedure saw almost half the patients go into complete remission. The treatment is…

This is where clouds come from. For the first time, researchers have observed the creation of ice crystals on individual atmospheric particles, giving an unprecedented glimpse at the way ice clouds form in our atmosphere. The process, called ice nucleation…

It's dangerously close to hitting a critical pressure point. A 12-km wide cauldron that forms a vast supervolcano on the coast of Italy is showing signs of reawakening after almost 500 years of inactivity. Not only is this site rumoured to be responsible…

Festive Nebulas Light Up Milky Way Galaxy Satellite: Our HubblLight Up Milky Way Galaxy Satellitee Space Telescope captured two festive-looking nebulas, situated so as to appear as one. They reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is a satellite…

This is bad. A weather buoy floating 144 km (90 miles) south of the North Pole registered 0.4 degrees Celsius (32.7 Fahrenheit) yesterday, and if the North Pole follows suit as expected, it will have officially hit melting point. Temperatures in the Arctic…

This is crazy. It snowed on December 19 in the Sahara Desert, and NASA’s Landsat 7 satellite was there (or rather, hundreds of miles overhead) to see it. The photo comes from Landsat 7’s Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus visible-light camera, and depicts the…

Pandora Up Close: This image from our Cassini spacecraft is one of the highest-resolution views ever taken of Saturn's moon Pandora. Pandora (52 miles, 84 kilometers) across orbits Saturn just outside the narrow F ring. The spacecraft captured the image during…

Ripples in spacetime: Science's 2016 Breakthrough of the Year By Adrian ChoDec. 22, 2016 , 2:00 PM The discovery of ripples in spacetime—gravitational waves—shook the scientific world this year. It fulfilled a prediction made 100 years ago by Albert Einstein…

This year was full of amazing scientific breakthroughs and some cool science news stories, but the scientific images of 2016 were equally remarkable. Here are some of our favorites. A maverick scientist becomes a guinea pig

Cosmic 'Winter' Wonderland: Although there are no seasons in space, this cosmic vista invokes thoughts of a frosty winter landscape. It is, in fact, a region where radiation from hot, young stars is energizing the cooler gas in the cloud that surrounds them.…

Introduction. Why plan at all? To get more out of life, to take responsibility for your time. Tools. All you really need is pen, paper, and some time. There’s also a very quick introduction to mind mapping and mind mapping software. I then present my fourteen…

Dear all! Thanks for joining us! We are very-very young and celebrating 1 month "anniversary"!!!

Top 10 science stories of 2016: Gravitational waves, Zika, Proxima b and more

Solar power is now the cheapest form of energy in almost 60 countries We just hit a major turning point. It's official: solar became the cheapest source of new energy in lower-income countries this year, giving both companies and governments alike another…
