Scientists have uncovered some new details about the heliosphere. They've produced the first ever map of its boundary, called the heliopause, where solar winds are brought to a stop by the interstellar medium.

3D printing has the potential to construct houses faster and cheaper than with traditional building techniques, and Habitat for Humanity is making a 3D-printed home in the US that it hopes will be a blueprint for affordable housing.

Astronomers have used computer modeling to reveal the chaotic fate of a distant solar system in which the planets orbit in near perfect synchronization, and in the process shed light on how ancient white dwarfs become polluted with debris.

Fascinating new research has found a link between opioid addiction and vitamin D deficiency. The research indicates subjects with low vitamin D levels may experience heightened euphoric effects from opioids, making them more susceptible to addiction.

Volkswagen pulled the sheets off the new T7 Multivan this week, charting a new path for its multifunctional passenger van. No longer part of the Transporter family, the Multivan stands on its own with a fresh plug-in hybrid option and semi-autonomy.

Novavax has announced data from its Phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine trial, revealing over 90 percent protection from symptomatic infection and 100 percent protection from moderate to severe disease. The vaccine is hoped to be a vital new weapon in the pandemic.

A first-of-a-kind spacecraft is set to make history later this year, but will do so using materials you could find at your local hardware store. The world's first wooden satellite is set to enter orbit as a box made largely of birch plywood.

A tiny, cheap molten salt reactor that fits in a shipping container could radically disrupt the nuclear power industry. Denmark's Seaborg says it will mass-manufacture them and deploy them globally on floating barges, on a paradigm-smashing timeline.

When someone is really intoxicated, they may not be very cooperative when told to blow into a breathalyzer. There could soon be a more passive but just as accurate alternative, though, in the form of an earmuff that measures blood alcohol levels.

Planets rotate, stars rotate, galaxies and galaxy clusters all rotate. Astronomers have now discovered evidence that larger scale structures of the universe also rotate – mind-bogglingly gigantic filaments that pipe galaxies around the cosmos.

Engineers have found a way to make liquid metals switch between reflective surfaces or those that scatter light. The transition only requires a small zap of electricity and could be used to make mirrors that can be switched on or off.
