Why We Need Quantum Tech In Space to Fight Climate Change
Classical Earth observations are reaching their limit, so scientists are probing fundamental physics in space to understand our planet's complexity.
Why We're Finally Closing In On a Game-Changing Universal Flu Vaccine
Only the flu shot is taken annually, but new advances are getting us closer to making that a thing of the past with a lifesaving universal flu vaccine.
Room Temperature Superconductors Will Change Everything
Scientists have made a breakthrough that allows for perfectly efficient energy transfer, which before was only possible at intense conditions.
Beaming Solar Power From Space to Earth Is a Sci-Fi Dream That's Getting Closer
The U.S. military deployed a solar-harvesting test module into space in May. Will space-based solar power ever work, and what will it take?
Why the Future of Nuclear Power Is Tiny and Factory-Made
Governments around the world and companies like Rolls Royce are investing in the next generation of nuclear reactors.
OK, What Is Room-Temperature Superconducting and Will It Change Everything?
It's been 100 years since a Dutch physicist discovered superconductivity, and recent discoveries show we're closer than ever to developing potentially world-changing technology.
