Astronomers have captured the biggest cosmic explosion ever detected. About 100 times bigger than the solar system and two trillion times brighter than the Sun at its peak, the mysterious miasma has remained visible for three years.

In the treatment of epilepsy, doctors will sometimes implant arrays of stimulating electrodes on the surface of a patient's brain. A new soft robotic system allows those electrodes to be placed far less invasively than ever before.

Collins Aerospace has come up with a new oxygen system for special forces soldiers making insanely high parachute jumps from up to 33,000 ft that automatically adjusts itself as they plummet at 126 mph for chute openings as low as 3,000 ft.

Deep learning neural nets have begun a roughshod rampage through the creative arts sectors, and if musicians thought they were safe from the AIs that plague the nightmares of writers, artists and others, they've got another think coming.

Newly discovered cold-adapted microorganisms "eat" plastic at temperatures lower than currently required. The discovery is the first step towards developing a more effective industrial-scale method of ridding the planet of plastic pollution.

Space startup Vast has announced that it intends to launch what it calls the world's first commercial space station, Haven-1, sometime after August 2025 atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as the first element of a 100-m (330 ft) rotating station.

Northrop Grumman has completed its fifth consecutive successful test of the US Navy AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile Extended Range (AARGM-ER) and the first against a target simulating an advanced operational defense system.

For some time now, it has been known that wounds with a zig-zag pattern heal faster than those which form a straight line. Scientists have now determined why this is so, and their findings could change the ways in which surgical incisions are made.

Heart attack symptoms are sometimes similar to other non-heart-related conditions. UK researchers have used machine learning to develop a fast, highly accurate tool for helping doctors diagnose the potentially fatal condition.

One of the most gloriously silly projects in the automotive world is set to launch within the next few months. The Tamiya Wild One Max is a faithful replica of a hugely popular R/C toy from the '80s, upscaled to a two-seat, street-legal electric buggy.

E-mobility outfit Vvolt says that most trips by car in the US are less than a few miles, making cargo ebikes an attractive alternative. The new Utility Series models have been "designed from the ground up to help folks ride more and drive less."

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor on an object in the asteroid belt, a region of the solar system where it wasn’t known to survive. The new observations also reveal something unexpectedly missing.
