NASA's Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) XIII simulated deep space mission has ended after a record 45 days. The four-man crew is celebrating by getting some kip after more than six weeks in a study examining the effects of sleep deprivation on astronaut efficiency.

Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics are versatile enough that they still persist after 75 years. But to make sure the guidelines for programming artificial intelligence cast as wide a net as possible, experts from the University of Hertfordshire have detailed a new system they call “Empowerment.”

BMW came out of nowhere to dominate the adventure, retro and supersport markets, and with the 313cc G310R it's hoping to do the same with its first learner-focused machine. This little beast is capable, confident, quick, and very competitively priced, given the badge on the tank.

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

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.

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.”

How does Nissan's hybrid model for the Rogue perform? We used it as a family hauler for a week to see if the fuel economy benefits stack up, and how it drives compared to the deadpan standard gasoline model.

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.
