A new prostate cancer treatment that combines lasers and deep-sea bacteria could be "truly transformative," according to a team of researchers. A trial conducted with 415 men across Europe finished with nearly half completely free of cancer compared...
Remember when you saw those old-timey photos of room-sized vacuum-tube-powered computers, and laughed and laughed? That tech might be making a comeback, thanks to work from scientists from UC San Diego. They've built the first semiconductor-free, las...

If you have dreamed of having space battles with your friends in your backyard, your dream is about to come true. Propel will release its official Star Wars drones this fall. Unlike some of the cheap Star Wars drones already on the market, the detail is supposed to be really nice on these. The propellers are clear and are attached to their underside so they are inconspicuous and as accurate to the movies as possible.
They can reach speeds up to 40 mph and can do 360-degree aerial stunts too. But that’s not all. They also have a battle feature, which is basically a game of mid-air laser tag with up to 24 friends. Obviously the Millennium Falcon is the fastest at 50 mph.
The company is taking advance reservations for each model right now. Just register with no down payment needed and you can save between $200 to $300(USD) for each drone you commit to. Now for the bad news. They won’t be available in the US and Canada when they launch this fall in Europe, so we might be waiting a while to get them here.
Is there anything cooler than sending a robot to Mars to shoot rocks with lasers? Probably not -- which is why NASA is giving the Curiosity rover the ability to shoot even more rocks with lasers. Okay, technically NASA is giving the Martian rover the...
