​Chinese scientists have smashed the quantum entanglement distance record. Transmitting information through entangled photons had previously only been possible to 100 km (62 mi), but using the Micius satellite launched in August, information has effectively been teleported 1,200 km (746 mi).

​​NASA officials have announced some of the first targets to be observed by the much-anticipated James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) following its launch atop an Ariane 5 rocket, which is slated for lift-off in October 2018.

​Pininfarina may be best-known as the design house responsible for the good looks of various Ferraris, although it's also tried its hand at things like bicycles, rapid transit systems and even kitchens. Now, it's joined forces with shipbuilder Rossinavi to design a luxury yacht known as the Aurea.

This year is all about redemption for Toyota at Le Mans, but the team seems to be on the right track. Kamui Kobayashi has set a new lap record during qualifying, clinching pole position for this weekend's race in the process.

The US Navy Office of Naval Research is sponsoring the development of a digital aid called the Deployable Ship Integration Multitouch System that will allow aircraft handlers to sort out the best way to use a carrier's flight deck and hangar without relying on a "Ouija board."

The blue whale may be the largest animal ever, but new research has found it only claimed the title relatively recently. By comparing the bones of modern whales to fossils, a team of scientists has traced the growth spurt to about 4.5 million years ago, when climate change increased the food supply.

After a seven-month investigation, ESA has released the results of its inquiry into the crash of its unmanned Schiaparelli lander on Mars last October. Telemetry data and orbital images show that the accident was due to a violent rotation of the module that fooled the onboard computer.

The Dodge Demon caused a serious stir when it launched at the New York Auto Show in April, but some details remained unclear: namely, how much it would cost. Now we have a price tag, it's clear the road-legal dragster offers more horsepower-per-dollar than you can get almost anywhere else.

A new clinical trial has provided strong evidence that cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant, significantly reduces the frequency of seizures in children with a rare form of epilepsy.​

A hobbit house, a Doctor Who-style Tardis, and a flight simulator all feature in the 2017 Cuprinol Shed of the Year. The competition highlights the cream of the British shed scene and this year's finalists are made up of 32 weird, wacky, and ingenious sheds made by passionate hobbyists.

Currently on Kickstarter, the SID camera is a dual-lens 3D-shooter which promises to make it simple to film footage suitable for VR applications and headsets. 3D live-streaming is also possible with the compact device, as is the ability to add Augmented Reality special effects to videos.

It's generally accepted that humans originated in Africa, but new studies may paint a different picture. By examining fossils of early homini​ns, researchers have found that humans and chimpanzees may have split earlier than previously thought, and this may have happened in Europe, not Africa.
