The Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) has developed new battery material, made from a "graphene ball," which could potentially deliver charging speeds five times faster than today's lithium-ion batteries. Samsung announced the new mat

On its surface, Earth is chaos. It is traffic jams and the threat of nuclear war and fake news operations trying to punk real ones but owning themselves spectacularly in the process.

The arm bones of women who lived 7,000 years ago show an incredible level of strength - even higher than today's elite athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric bones to those of living people.

Flat-Earthers are having one heck of a week. Not only is one of these deniers of terrestrial sphericalness about to embark on a most audacious experiment, but they've now come to the attention of none other than Elon Musk.

Ever since humanity split into dog and cat people, we've been arguing over which one of our beloved companions is a smarter species.

The key to learning a new motor skill - such as playing the piano or mastering a new sport - isn't necessarily how many hours you spend practising, but the way you practise, according to a 2016 study.

Earth is full of bizarre landscapes. Some are land formations moulded over thousands of years, while others are human-made creations that have altered the planet in strange ways.

The full power of quantum computing remains out of reach for now, but we're getting closer: physicists just packed 10 qubits on to one superconducting circuit, marking a new record in the march towards next-generation computing.

"Extraordinary." "Stellar." "Truly awesome." "A world-class find."

This Sunday is your chance to get up close and personal with the Moon.

Near what is today the Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi, some 1,400 years or so ago, somebody buried a whole bunch of documents in a jar.

The search for dark matter continues, in part through China's Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) – and the probe just picked up a suggestion of something on its instruments that suggests we could be getting closer to the big discovery.

Talk about a close escape: the image that you can see above is a CT scan of the skull of a 45-year-old US man who admitted himself to an emergency room, after being shot with a .22 calibre pistol.

Doctors in Miami faced an unusual ethical dilemma when an unconscious, deteriorating patient was brought into the emergency room with the words "Do Not Resuscitate" across his chest.

The last time any country put boots or, rather, little metal feet, on the Moon was in 2013, when China landed its Yutu rover there. Before that, you'd have to look back to the 1970s to find anything built by Earthlings that camped out on the s
