After two decades under construction, Egypt has officially thrown open the doors to the largest archeological museum in the world, spanning 94 football fields and built to house some 100,000 exhibits through several millennia.

A roof paint that can cool your home and pull fresh water straight out of the air? It's within reach, as scientists scale up production of a new kind of paint-like coating that shields roofing from the sun's rays and harvests dew from its surface.

A new study has looked into whether electric cars are really better for the environment than gas-powered cars. It turns out that this is indeed the case: after two years of use, EVs start reducing their total carbon footprint compared to gas cars.

For the first time in geologic history, scientists are bearing witness to the Juan de Fuca Plate tearing apart in pieces and losing its connection to the upper mantle. This is the first glimpse of what happens when one of Earth’s most powerful engines begins to wind down.

Ultra-slow-motion footage has revealed that snake strikes aren’t the simple, lightning-fast stabs we imagine. Instead, each deadly family has evolved its own sinister, precision method for delivering venom in just milliseconds.

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world responded with public health measures, including social distancing practices. But it appears that humans aren’t the only ones to modify their environment to mitigate epidemic risk.

More than 60 million years on from its final day on Earth, there's a dinosaur we owe an apology. Paleontologists confirm that the Tyrannosaurus rex locked in combat with a Triceratops in the famous Dueling Dinosaurs specimen is not a T. rex after all.

Did you know it rains on the Sun? Not water, of course. It's solar rain, which occurs in the Sun's corona, the outermost layer composed of intensely hot plasma. Astronomers have finally figured out the science behind this strange phenomenon.

With satellites orbiting the Earth exploding into tens of thousands of pieces, the danger of collisions with space debris is a major problem, so Atomic-6 has developed new Space Armor tiles that are lighter and more effective than current systems.

We think of ice as just frozen water. It is simple, solid. But water is a master of disguise. With just two atoms, hydrogen and oxygen, it can freeze into more than 20 different types of ice. Now, scientists have discovered a new, stranger type of ice.
