Using inexpensive materials, MIT researchers have devised a new way of providing cooling for structures. The new passive system that works without power could one day be used to supplement other...
An aircraft with no moving parts has made its first flight. The craft developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) does not depend on propellers or turbines. Instead, it uses ionic wind...

Hemimastigotes have been assigned to an entirely new branch on the evolutionary tree of life. The dirt-dwelling microbes are so unusual that they do not fit into any known kingdom of organisms. As a...
Burmese pythons are among the largest snakes on Earth. This species is native to Southeast Asia, but they have now established a population in Florida State which they previously never inhabited. The...

A research team from multiple institutes has released an incredibly detailed map of Antarctica based on newly obtained satellite images. The map, called the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (...
In 2005, Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa landed on small near-Earth asteroid called Itokawa. Its aim was to study the asteroid and return to Earth with dust samples. The mission was almost a failure...
