If you feel like you’ve had some drawn-out breakups, think of the supercontinent of Pangaea, which took tens of millions of years to split up. Now a unique fossil skull might readjust the timeline, with a strange creature turning up on a different continent to its previously-discovered relatives.

Several experiments have shown that the EMDrive can generate thrust from basically nothing – in apparent violation of Newton’s Laws of Motion. Unfortunately, a German team has now built and tested their own EMDrive, and found that environmental factors may have been responsible for false positives.

With the Mavic Air, the Mavic Pro and the Mavic Pro Platinum, DJI's mid-range line is starting to get a little crowded. They're all decent machines, but what are the differences between the three and which one is best for you? New Atlas compares the specs and features of the current Mavic drones.

​If there's one thing that's scary about quadcopter drones – besides their ability to invade peoples' privacy or fall on their heads – it's those fast-spinning rotor blades. An experimental new system, however, is designed to stop the rotors before they can do any cutting.

The South Pole may seem like a flat desert of ice, but a recent international radar survey has discovered that there's a complex topography under the surface that could have a major effect on global sea level rise due to climate change.
