Researchers have broken the efficiency record for nuclear fusion on the micro-scale. Using an ultra-fast, high-powered laser, the results were about 500 times more efficient than previous experiments. The researchers blasted arrays of nanowires to create incredibly hot, dense plasmas.

Aston Martin plans an entire spinoff brand for electric luxury. Lagonda will move forward with its own ground-up design language, and based on the Lagonda Vision Concept, electrified Lagonda models will sport radical looks and luxuries quite unlike Astons or Lagondas of present or past.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are strange, extremely bright and mysterious signals from space. Now, astronomers at Australia’s Parkes Observatory have recorded three new signals in relatively quick succession – one of which is the brightest FRB ever detected.

The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse is all-new with improvements to engine power, fuel efficiency, interior roominess, and cargo space. Made for family hauling with style, the Traverse has set a new standard for the midsized three-row crossover segment to match. No, that’s not as lame as it sounds.

March 14 is Pi Day (3/14), and what better way to celebrate than with a brand new Raspberry Pi micro-computer board? The Raspberry Pi Foundation has today released the Pi 3 Model B+, with a more powerful CPU, improved wireless LAN performance and Gigabit wired networking.

According to a new study, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) is growing taller as the storm’s perimeter continues to shrink. The GRS is a colossal swirling storm that has been raging continuously on Jupiter’s cloud surface since its discovery in 1831.

​If you didn't know already, March 14th is Pi Day, as in 3/14 or 3.14. In observance of the occasion, Amsterdam-based "international ideas company" WE ARE Pi has created what it claims is the world's first rideable PiCycle – it's a fixie bike that's shaped like the Greek letter π, the symbol for Pi.

​The platypus has long fascinated scientists, with its weird assortment of features making it one of the most unusual animals on the planet. Now a team of researchers found that platypus milk contains novel antimicrobial properties that could help scientists battle the global superbug threat.

​With the James Webb Space Telescope promising to capture pictures of universe with a degree of detail never before seen, we take a look back at some of the most breathtaking intergalactic images humanity has snapped.

One of the clearest Alzheimer's risk factors is the gene apoE4. New research has peered closer at the protein encoded by this gene and uncovered how it affects the brain, how it increases the risks of Alzheimer’s and most importantly, how the damage can be reversed.

​As the science of epigenetics begins to explain exactly how our gene activity can be modulated by external environmental factors​, a great debate brews - just how heritable are these epigenetic markers? Are the epigenetic results of stress and a bad diet in your life transferred to your children?

Ford isn’t mincing words at the launch of its all-new Focus lineup, claiming it’s “quite simply, the best car in our 114 year history.” It’s a ground-up redesign with a new look, a heap more driver assist goodies, active suspension and a sizeable jump in efficiency.
