When the universe was a few microseconds old, it was a soupy substance called quark-gluon plasma, exhibiting a host of unusual quantum effects previously only thought to occur just after the Big Bang. For the first time, IBM researchers have now observed a gravitational anomaly in earthly materials

Lenovo has been sharing some of its visions of the future at its annual Tech World Innovation summit in Shanghai. If the next generation AR, digital assistant​ and health monitoring concepts are any indication, the company is getting ready to move beyond its usual remit of laptops and smartphones​.

Fans of experimental aircraft from the 20th century are in for a treat. NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center has begun uploading its entire historical archive to YouTube, making hundreds of videos highlighting different test flights and strange planes from the past 70 years easily accessible.

A Finnish research project has created a batch of protein using electricity, water, carbon dioxide and microbes, in a small portable lab. The stuff is edible and nutritious enough for cooking or livestock feed, and the system could eventually be used to grow food in areas where it’s needed the most.

After sporadic testing, the F1 Strategy Group says the cockpit-style "halo" will be mandatory for season 2018. Designed to protect drivers from flying debris, the slim carbon structure was chosen ahead of the aerodynamic windshield tested by Sebastian Vettel last week.

Work has begun on the first Type 26 frigate for the Royal Navy. Today at BAE Systems' Glasgow shipyard, the British Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon pressed the button that started the cutting of the first steel for the City-class warship now named HMS Glasgow.

Every particle has an antiparticle, which has the opposite charge. But it’s long been theorized that there’s an exception to the rule, with certain particles that are actually their own antiparticles. Now, scientists have found the first strong evidence for what they dub the “angel particle.”

The US Navy has officially welcomed the world's largest aircraft carrier into the fleet. The 110,000 ton USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78)​ was formally commissioned in a ceremony where President Donald Trump gave the principal address inaugurating the vessel into its half century of active service.

The SETI Institute, in partnership with French startup Unistellar, wants to up the game for amateur astronomers by marketing a computerized 4.5-in (11.4 cm) reflecting telescope called the "eVscope" that acts as a crowd-sourcing instrument.

In the Star Trek universe, Vulcans could form a mental bond with someone else, syncing up their brains to the point that the two basically shared one consciousness. Researchers in Spain have now shown that humans do something a bit similar – just by having a conversation.

Lockheed Martin is recycling a Space Shuttle cargo container to create a prototype deep space habitat for NASA. The full-scale experimental module will be used to test technologies to provide astronauts with a safe living space that can operate autonomously when there is no one on board.

Continental, which also has concepts designed to improve in-car audio and security, will be running a concept autonomous car around its Frankfurt facility to try and fine-tune the way driverless cars navigate the complex city environment.
