Stars still have plenty of surprises despite (or perhaps, because of) advances in astronomy. Researchers using Caltech's Zwicky Transient Facility have discovered a binary white dwarf system 8,000 light-years away, ZTF J1539+5027, where the two dead...
Researchers have observed a unique type of stellar explosion in the outskirts of a spiral galaxy located 920 million light years from Earth. They believe that the unusual explosion is actually a...

The first-ever mission to study a binary asteroid system has moved into its preliminary design phase following European Space Agency’s approval. The mission named, Hera, will travel to a nearby...

Many stars are found in binary systems where two-star orbit one another. Recently, astronomers have discovered two unique stars that revolve around each other at a neck-break speed, meaning they...

The notion of planets in a Tatooine-like system with two or more stars isn't strange (they've been known since 1993), but a truly massive planet hasn't been seen before... until now. Scientists using NASA's Kepler space telescope have discovered Kep...
If binary timepieces aren’t geeky enough for you, check out this clock by Hack A Day community member Voja Antonic. Not only does it tell the time in binary, it depicts the digits as square waves.
In a bit of compromise with us commoners, Voja programmed the clock so that it will occasionally flash the time in numbers or even with words.
Oh crap, is it half past snake already? I gotta go.
The Binary (clever bit of naming!) is a multi-tool that empowers your phone. It contains two parts that make a whole. Each part has two ports. All in all, the Binary has a very techy yin-yang vibe.
The Binary tool has on the one hand a blue cable that does your data transferring and also can charge your phone. The other part of the tool is a memory storage device. A cool idea (note: conceptual) is the way a MicroSD Card has been slotted into the USB Drive (maybe that should be USB Type D!). On the other end is a MicroUSB/Lightning Port to plug into your smartphone. This allows you to not just transfer between a phone and a desktop, but also between phones. Plus, since MicroSD cards are waterproof, bingo! No data loss because of clumsy accidents!
